yea I installed the driver by hand through device manager. Still didn't fix it.
My printer and my Pocket PC both work perfectly using USB synch.
Haven't tried ethernet because I don't have a router or a switch... I have gotten it to synch using serial however and it works fine... it's just sooo slow.
It's a strange error. If i first plug it in, emplode sees it and says, after selecting it and hitting OK, "Initialization error".
Then after that error, if i restart emplode or just click open database again, it finds it again. I select the player and hit ok... this time it says the device is no longer connected.
