Hi Lynnette, Tell us a little more about what you're tying to do. I use ipodder and things work fine. I'm using an xp machine with jaws. What exactly are you trying to do when you get your initialization error? Where are you "downloading" mp3's to or from?

Hello All Tech Personnel and Listers, I'm getting an error with initialization. Could it have to do with my installation of the ipodder software this evening? It shouldn't. Are there some settings I should change? I can't download anymore mp3's and I just did so this afternoon very successfully.. And, yes, I've tried resetting the Book Port. I'm too new to know what else to do. Thanks in advance for your help! Sick at Heart! Lynnette
