Friends of mine bought a Dimension 5100 about 2 weeks ago. They are using a Dell USB printer without any problems as well as a wireless USB keyboard and mouse. The other day they bought a Philips GoGear MP3 player and they're unable to get the device recognized by Windows XP Home. The device runs fine on my laptop running XP Prof. The device is only compatible with Windows 2000 and XP. When we plug in the device, the system is saying 'USB device Found' and a few seconds later 'USB device not recognized'.
My PC does not recognize my Philips GoGear MP3 player There are several troubleshooting steps you can perform if your PC does not recognize your Philips MP3 player. See the possible troubleshooting steps below.
I can see the device in explorer but am unable to access it. Does anyone have any ideas?? 'am I allowed to reinstall the pc'. Do you mean you want to do a 'clean' install - reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything? If that is the case it will not affect the warranty. However, make sure you have all the reinstallation items (many new Dell's do not come with CD's, just a restore partition on the hard drive) or if it has the restore function you can use that and do a restore back to the original factory power up settings.
If you manually do a reload, the proper procedure, after reformatting the hard drive is (1) Install Windows XP (2) Install the Dell chipset drivers for the motherboard (3) Install Dell supplied device drivers (e.g. The sound drivers) (4) Install any Dell provided applications you wish to reinstall (5) Install any user programs and restore backed up user data.
Thanks fireberd for quick answer. Regarding MP3 player: I have installed all soft that came with the MP3 player. The only soft was a tool to upgrade the MP3 player's firmware, but this program doesn't recognize the device as well because it is an unknown device to windows, and Windows Media Player 10 to upload music to the player, which is not possible through the explorer. One is able to copy files to the device with explorer but when you power on the device the songs are not visible( which is mentioned in the User Guide).
No drivers are available for the device.(It is only build for 2k/XP) and Media Player should recognize the device accoring to the User Guide. I really can't figure out why this device is not recognized. Regarding the clean install. Thanks for the info.
