    I have a dell 1705 and I did a clean xp install and now I cant get my mp3 player to sink with windows media player. I have the newest media player (down loaded it form microsoft) and my usb ports are working fine. my compurter sees the mp3 player but when I sink it, media player just says "no removible device found" I go to device manager and it is there and says its working properly. It works fine on my frends computer so there is nothing rong with the player. any advice?

    Normally Mp3 players mostly work with WMP10 I don't know about version 11. Why don't you just drag and drop your music instead of Using WMP as a third party software?

    I can't drag and drop because it is not showing up as a drive. if I go to my computer its not there the only place I can see it is in device manager? By the way I am using WMP 10 not the bata 11. I have tryed to change drivers for the player but thats not it because other compurters I have used use the same drivers. Somthing is just missing and I dont know what it is. :confused:

    What brand of mp3 player is it? Some of them require, or have their own software for putting the music on them. Maybe you could try installing that and see if it does anything different.

    Its a samsung and it did not come with any softwere other than the manual and drivers. I have install them and reinstaled them (and i used driver clean). It worked just fine befor I did the clean install of windows and it still works fine on other computers. There are no exclamation marks in device manager. This thing has got me stumped!

    there is nothing on it right now. I gota think this has somting to do with the clean install. I think i must have missed somthing on the reinstall. I tryed my friends Ipod and it acted the same way. It showes up in the divice manager and nowere else. I cant get it to sink or so up as a drive. Does any one know what I am missing? This is killing me. :confused:
    thanks.
