Thanks Rob. I now just hope that the XP installation goes well.

Larry, download the following:

This should get you going under XP.

Hi APH, I am updating my PC operating system from windows ME to windows =
XP. I have to reformat my hard drive unfortunately. I have looked all over
and cannot find my bookport installation CD. Is it possible to download the
software from your web site? Thanks. -----Original Message-----

Don:

Unfortunately, I need a lot more information about the files that were =3D
being sent. Were they Audible files? Were they MP3 files ripped from CD? =
=3D Were the files large or small?

The best thing to do in this situation would be to try sending each file =
=3D by hand until you get the error. If you don't get the error this way,
that = =3D would also be useful information, though I suspect you will. If
you find a = =3D file that gives the error, I need MP3-specific information
about the file = =3D if you can get it, such as the bit rate, CBR or VBR,
sample rate, and any = =3D other information you can offer.

I suspect the preview issue is separate from the sending issue, but I will =
=3D look into it more.

APH,

I cued nine mp3 files to be sent to the bp; they had a compression of =
=3D3D 1.5 and a time compression of 80%.  Only one file transferred
correctly = =3D =3D3D or at all for that matter; as each file was
transferring, I kept = getting =3D =3D3D the message:  "compressing time:
100 percent book port transfer = bad =3D3D parameter format."  I was then
placed on an ok button, which upon = =3D3D hitting it, started the transfer
of the next file, only to have the same = =3D =3D3D thing happen again.  I
think that after the eighth file, I got the = end =3D3D of transmission
xylophone sound, so I am thinking it lost count and = =3D3D didn't even try
sending the ninth file.

I have a hunch this problem is somehow related to the fact that I =3D3D
previewed most of these files to see how they would sound with =3D3D
compression.  I say this because after previewing only a few seconds of =
=3D =3D3D most of these files, and closing the software and coming back into
= it, I =3D =3D3D could not preview again those files I had previewed before
= almost as if =3D =3D3D they weren't reset or something; I don't know if
this = scenario of having =3D =3D3D previewed them set them up for
transmission failure, but = I thought I =3D3D would mention just in case.
