My first post, Hi. I have the above mp3 player and it has worked well for many years, although since windows 7 or so the software "nomad explorer" won't work.
I have an old laptop with XP so I use that to talk to the mp3 player. It is not connected to the web but I can transfer stuff using memory sticks. My current laptop runs Windows 10 and doesn't recognise the cd with the nomad programme on and not the player if I plug it in. I like this player with it's 30Gb capacity and would like to use it with my current laptop.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Regards

Mike

I tried many times today but although I could load the software, it would not recognise the mp3 player even though it asked for it to be switched on. I was reading up on compatibility and I wonder if I may have to have a separate partition with XP running. Thanks for the suggestion I will keep trying.

My computer recognises my Zen Extra at last and I think I can manipulate the content without keeping my old laptop just for that.
Many Thanks for the help, I look forward to at least reading about the problems and solutions on this excellent forum, and I know where to come if I have any problems.

Regards

Mike

Safeguard that driver by archiving it somewhere (USB stick perhaps) so that if the old laptop is gone, you'll have access to your Zen.
Fortunately our mp3 players (Clip+, Clip Zip and Office Depot/Max brand, Ativa) are recognized in Windows 7 because I'm always moving songs off and on the players and the micro sd cards.
