One thing you need to be careful about is disconnecting too soon when on
Windows 2000. In fact, it is not a bad idea to use the "Safely Remove
Hardware" button in the system trey.

Hello APH and all,
Had an interesting experience yesterday. Uncharacteristically took my
BP to
work to load some files. Installed the bp software from the APH site.
Went
to the NLS site and selected multiple files after downloading. The BP
appeared to be downloading files without difficulty, (sounds confirmed
file
transfer), but when I disconnected the unit, only the first files were
there. These were brf files and there was nothing else on the card, so
space certainly was not an issue.
Tried multiple times without success. BTW, work system is running
Windows 2000. Any ideas why the first 4 files would transfer and the
rest
would not appear even though they seemed to be loading?
I am not at that machine now but can try any suggested fixes if they
are
suggested and/or can look at some things here at home if that would
help.
Thanks.
Amy
