Hello, Well now I know what the people who have had problems with babbling are talking about! Here is exactly what happened in my case. I connected the bookport to the PC. No response. This has happened before so I'm not unduly concerned. Usually, disconnecting and then reconnecting solves the problem. Please note that I do not choose "unplug" from the system tray as the device has not been recognized--I simply unplug and reconnect. This time, however, when I unplugged the Bookport, it started to babble in the manner already described on this list. Neither a 2+B combo or a battery reset resolve the problem. I took the card out of the device, put it in my card reader and deleted the "lastfile._aa" file and the memo folder for good measure. This seems to have resolved the problem. When I put the card back in the Bookport it behaved as expected and I am now in the middle of transferring my files. Hope this information is helpful. Thanks. P.S. Just disconnected and everything is hunky dory! Debbie Crafts Framingham, MA debbiecrafts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
