HI Sharon I think I can solve point three of your problems, the one re the card reader. you need to transfer to bc using the transfer tool, as the software creates the navigation tree for the bc. a card reader won't do this. hth Hope to hear from you soon. from Martin.

The only way to fix this is to take out the batteries and put : them in again. Anybody else have this problem? Hope I don't have to send it : to be fixed. : A couple of other strange problems are: : 1. When I try to play the BC with advance mode on, after a while I get an : error message and am asked to reset the unit. I can't write down the : message; too fast. : 3. If I put mp3s on a flash card through a flash card reader, sometimes the : BC won't be able to read them. I just get an error message. I have no : trouble playing the files straigh from the card reader. : Thanks for your assistance. : Sharon : : : :
