Looking at the specs for it, it says "The player is only compatible with PCs with a USB 2.0 connec tion". Have you got USB2?

Faulty MP3 Player?
Hi people (again),
A couple of days ago I was told to test the MP3 player I asked for for Christmas after it was delivered earlier in the week - a Goodmans GMP32005, according to the front of the box.
The problem is Windows flat refuses to recognise what kind of USB device is connected (even though it knows something is there, if not what is there) even though I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers about 4 times.
Sending it back for a refund is a last resort at the moment, as it was mail ordered from a Studio catalogue - is there any way to sort this out?

I'm pretty sure I might have - how do I check?

Well most likely the manual of your motherboard will tell you. Also some mothersboards have usb2 but not all usb ports on the back are actualy usb2. But you can identify whether your PC has Hi-Speed or not relatively easy in another way too. Open Device Manager and expand the Universal Serial Bus section. There should be an "Enhanced" USB host controller present. If that is the case at least some of your ports are usb2.0
Windows 98 systems may use a different name, because Hi-Speed USB drivers in these operating systems are not provided directly from Microsoft (Windows ME, 2000 and XP get their drivers through Windows Update).
