FreeLists / blindipod / [blindipod] Odd Zen Plus Problem

[Chris Tekell <blindcat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, I bought my mom a 2Gb Zen Stone Plus for Mothers' Day. The player 
works fine on its own and works fine when I hook it up to my 
computer, but not when hooked up to my parent's computer. My Creative 
Media Lite finds it just fine and all works as it should. Their Media 
Lite does not find it and their Windows shows it as a generic USB 
storage device while mine shows it as "Stone Plus".
Since my folks are technophobes and getting the idea across that 
using Windows Explorer would actually be simpler than using 
Creative's software isn't likely to happen I need to figure this 
thing out. I was concerned that there might be something wrong with 
their front USB ports or with a driver, but my dad's old Zip drive 
still works fine in both front ports as does two standard Zen Stones 
we got over to test. Between my siblings and their spouses, myself, 
and my parents, we have tried a multitude of gadgets and the only 
ones having a problem are two different Stone Plus players, both 
brand new. Anyone else run into such an odd issue or have any ideas 
of a solution?
