The device manager doesn't say anything about the BookPort. It does, in fact, say something about a TTS MP3 player. It might be time to call tech support. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of boomerdad Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 12:09 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: [other] Re: problem connecting Bookport Well, you can accomplish the same thing with the tab key. I still saw no check-box to change the drive letter. (If I sound a bit terse, please don't take it to heart; I'm just quite frustrated with this situation.) It doesn't seem to be so much a problem of Windows recognizing the Bookport (although it may be misidentifying it), but rather getting Bookport Transfer to see that Bookport is there. What is *supposed* to be there? When you highlight the Bookport drive with Windows Explorer and/or look at it with the device manager, what *should* be there? Should it say "Bookport?" When I look at Bookport with my device manager, it calls it "SD Inc TTSMP3player". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walt Smith" <WSmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 9:54 AM Subject: [other] [bookport] Re: problem connecting Bookport > There needs to be an additional step in those directions that isn't > obvious to someone who isn't looking for it.
