The device manager doesn't say anything about the BookPort. It does, in fact,
say something about a TTS MP3 player. It might be time to call tech support.

Well, you can accomplish the same thing with the tab key. I still saw no
check-box to change the drive letter. (If I sound a bit terse, please don't
take it to heart; I'm just quite frustrated with this situation.)
It doesn't seem to be so much a problem of Windows recognizing the Bookport
(although it may be misidentifying it), but rather getting Bookport Transfer
to see that Bookport is there. What is *supposed* to be there? When you
highlight the Bookport drive with Windows Explorer and/or look at it with
the device manager, what *should* be there? Should it say "Bookport?" When
I look at Bookport with my device manager, it calls it "SD Inc
TTSMP3player".
