Hi,
I suspect you're using XP Pro?
Windows has decided that your book port is an mp3 device. What a pain.
One way I solved this on one computer was to go into the control panel under system, device manager, and look for USB devices. When I found the one that had the mp3 device attached, I looked at the driver details, found the driver filename and went and deleted it.
Then the computer began recognizing the book port again.
Another approach is to delete the mp3 device.
Unfortunately, on another machine, XP Pro is always re-installing the driver, but at least when I launch the book port transfer software manually, it sees the book port.

It is too bad that Microsoft always thinks it knows best what we want our computers to do.

Richard
