We just got my niece a new mp3 player for christmas - well I am trying to get it ready for her, but..I have no idea what to do. I put in the *driver* cd that came with it ....but all it installed was an MP3 Update for the mp3 player and that's it. Nothing else. It says I am suppose to go to MyComputer and see a folder called *Portable Disk* I don't see that file...

I have a Trio MP3 player. Please Help. Im at my witts end with this thing!:eek:

When you plug it in, does the computer make the ding-dong sound that shows a USB device is plugged in? (I assume it IS USB).

With My Computer open, click on the Folders button at the top and then expand My Computer on the left side to make sure you can see the drives.

When you plug the device in it should make the sound and a new drive should appear.

Does that happen?

It does make the ding - dong sound.

I did the my computer - folders thing, and I see the E:/ driver folder - that has the cd in it that came with the MP3 player-

but, a new drive doesnt appear.

Or anything else?

It might appear as MP3 player or something. The device is obviously being detected.

What if you plug it in first and then open My Computer?

It's annoying not being able to see what's happening because I'm sure it is there

Are those removable drives ALL there to begin with?

When I plug in a Flash device it appears as a new removable device. My money would be the one labelled J on your machine (the others are probably card reader slots).

What happens if you click on J on the left side (or double-click it in the main area in the middle)?

I think that's it. It WILL be empty at the moment.

If you know you don't have any cards in your card readers, the J is probably the one. Does it disappear if you unplug the MP3 player. Can you still open it if the player is removed?

When I put the music in that file - will I have to let the MP3 player turn off and then turn it back on to get the music to work?
