will have to come back to this... emplode canot find the player on serial com1 (the only serial there and only put there for the empeg). i've checked all connections and they seem fine.

if i connect via usb it just finds new hardware and wants me to install the software from the disk .... emplode is already installed and searching, player is on rio car v2.00, though i have 2.01 on the pc too i think,

i'll give it one more go before getting on with some proper work!

edit...
have reinstalled emplode, cannot find player via usb or serial, pc knows it's there as it asks for the disk to be inserted. i'm gonna completely un-install it and reload from the downloaded version i have on file. if that don't work then i'm gonna seriously get the hump!

Edit again....

no good, just not having it. could there be firewall type settings which are preventing emplode hooking up with the player?
