That is easily solved by manually opening Windows Explorer and going to the
letter drive of the BP.

The Autoplay dialog is actually useful. What I did was to set things up so that it will automatically open Windows Explorer and show me everything that's on the BP. I think that if you set it to "Take no action" for each individual type of file, then Windows Explorer will never open and you won't see that dialog any more, either.

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>
