Connecting MP3 player to W98 via USB

[Tatuma]

Hi there,

I recently purchased an MP3 player that it says is Plug and Play unless you have W98, in which case you should use the provided software on a CD. I loaded the software and I plugged in the MP3 via the USB connection - the best I have got to getting things working is that an "E" drive flashes on and off in my explorer directory.

I have tried uninstalling the software, reloading many times, but the PC doesnt want to consistantly recognise the connection. Why does it flash on and off ??

Can anyone suggest anything, I am at the end of the road on this.

Thanks very much in advance if anyone can help me.

Anthony.

Are you able to drag and drop folders into the 'E' drive? My brother is using Win 98 SE, and I have XP, and both behave the same way: The MP3 player only shows up as a new drive letter.
