Chris, I first installed the Iriver software. In fact, I used it a
few times and found it could be done although it is a pain because one
has to use the Window Eyes mouse keys quite a bit. I transferred a
few mp3s using this software into the player.
Next, I made certain that the player was turned on and the U S B cable
connected at both ends. I then got the confirmatory gong indicating
that windows xp saw the 799. I then clicked on the ums file which is
a zip file which opened using Winzip revealing only one file in the
archive which is a .hex file. When I attempted to click on that, the
only thing which happened was that it opened in Notepad.
So, just where is my problem, and, what shall I do to solve that
problem?
Thanks.
Don Roberts

Hi Don
Have you atempted to update the firmware by using the software on the
CD
that *hopefully* came with your iRiver? If not, please install the
software, update the UMS firmware and then you can uninstall the
software. You won't need it after that. It does sound like you have
the
proper firmware version though.
