The Sansa updater seems to say there are no updates. I am going to leave it connected overnight in case it really is doing something, albeit incredilbly slowly. If I pull the Sansa now, the screen will continue to say “writing” unless I manually tuirn it off. If I click on the not installed balloon, it gives me the popup saying contact the manufacturer. The Windows 7 balloon comes up saying something about installing the driver, and then saying the driver was not installed. If I take the now dormant Sansa and plug it back into the computer, the Sansa screen lights back up, and now reads “writing”. If I hold the start button down for 15 seconds the Sansa will shut off.

If I pull the Sansa out, I get the boop boop on the computer indicating something was removed, and the Sansa screen just continues to say “connected” (The battery bar shows a full charge). When I plug in the Sansa, the screen says “connected”, but if I try to pull it up on the “my computer” it does not show.

I have seen some notations for a second mode MSC, but I can’t seem to find it, and wouldn’t have monkeyed around with any settings (I am kind of green with computers). There is also' MTP USB Device' with a “Failed” after it. Upon clicking this balloon for help a popup screen says … please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed. Upon plugging it intpo my Windows 7, I get a boop boop sound that something was attached, and then a pop up balloon comes up saying ' installing device driver software', after a moment of this a balloon screen says “Device Driver Software not installed”. I am all of a sudden having problems with my Sansa Clip Plus.
