RE: plextalk transfer softwarewendy I have the cd and can upload it to sendspace if you like. contact me at dball10@xxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendy Sharpe To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 3:03 PM Subject: PTR2 Hello Everyone I have a PTR2 which I bought second-hand, and I am very pleased with it. I am wondering where I can get the CD containing the manual and other items, as the seller did not include this, and could not locate it when I asked for it. I have the manual in Word, but it would be so much easier to have the DAISY version on CD. Any help would be much appreciated.

The best manual of a ptr device I have seen was the one for the ptr2!

One other thing that I've noticed is that I tend to get a more reliable connection (i.e. one with fewer connection errors) if I make sure the Pocket is booted up before connecting the USB cable to the computer - no idea why this should make a difference but, if I connect the cables first and then switch on the Pocket, Windows quite often fails to recognise the Pocket properly. Finally, can I just point out I had nothing to do with writing the Pocket Transfer manual, honest!!

I will try that and see if it works. The thing used to work simply using windows explorer but for some obscure reason now it will work for a time and then simply hangs up.

Secondly, just to say that I almost always use Windows Explorer for transferring all sorts of material and have hardly ever had any problems. I only use the transfer software for podcast feeds.
