One more suggestion I would have is to check and possibly replace your
batteries. As for that silly autoplay dialog, I just press escape when it
comes up and go on my way with the transfer software.

Thanks, Sarah. You know, I tried that and it did do something strange.
When I reconnected the Bookport after resetting it, I got a dialog box that
said "Autoplay" and had a Cancel button. It stayed there for a bit and then
went away.
I think, near as I can tell, that my computer thinks BookPort is an MP3
player ... which it is, I suppose ... but I'm unclear as to how to tell
Windows not to treat it like an ordinary MP3 player. I found a check box in
the library proprties of the drive that said "Enable Drive" and it as
checked, but I feared if I unchecked the box then Windows wouldn't
acknowledge Bookport's being connected at all.
<Frustrated> I'm pretty savvy with my computer when it comes to software,
but when hardware issues come up I start to glaze over and whimper
pathetically. <Grin>
