Hi!
Eventhough I have seen simular topics in this forum I realy would like to, once and for all, get a/some working solution(s) to my problem.
I have just bought a HPM-10 and tried to install the drivers/software for the MultiMedia Port (the adaptor that transfers files from the computer to the mediacard). The computer I'm trying to install the software to are running under WinXP - Home...
I suppose this is the problem while the drivers/software that was included on the HPM-10 CD-ROM supports Windows 9x, NT4 and 2000 but NOT WinXP.
When I visited the sonyericsson homepage the same Installationfiles where available (no support for WinXP)...
I have called SonyEricsson (Sweden) and they told me that there where no driver/software available supporting WinXP and they are not planing to release any either (This i find highly remarkable!!!!!!!!).
This is what happends:
When I run the SETUP.EXE the installation starts, I choose language and then choose the destination I would like the software to be installed... Then (after a while) the installation are beeing interupted by a popup message, saying something like: Installation canceled due to problem with the SETUP.INI file or The software are allready installed on the computer plese remove it, restart the computer and run the installation again...
So my question is (once and for all)...
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Sincerly,
Simon Thorsander

i have WinXP at home, and i had the same problem with the software that came on the cd, but i just downloaded the latest sofware on
's site and it work fine. Have you tried to download the latest software?
Posted by thorsander
When I try to install the downloaded
-file the message "Error in the SETUP.INI-file" pops up!
The other message:
"The software are allready installed on the computer please remove it, restart the computer and run the installation again..."
accures when I use the CD-ROM installation

ok, that's strange, i haven't had simular problem so i don't know actually.
Maybe the only solution is to format your harddrive and install winxp again...
Posted by thorsander
Don't think so...
Someone else having any idea?
I read some of the other threads concerning this kind of matter...
But the solutions never feelt 100% right (some people got BlueScreen (this is something I don't want!)).
Please let me know if anyone has solved this problem!

Well i got the same message on my Win2000 pc, it kept killing the installation near the end process saying that it has already been installed! What is the link to download the new software from SE?

In the end i just stuck it on my laptop with 98 on it, and works like a treat!

I was hopeing that this tread should be the one, giving the answers to this kind of problem. Instead I read alot of mumbo-jumbo ("I connected my adaptor to my laptop (using win98)" - thanx alot - that helped me a great deal). "Buy the USB connection" - didn't help me at all - I just bought this product (HPM-10) and are not interested in buying a new adaptor.
Is there anyone that managed to install drivers/software for winXP, if there is... ...how did you do?
(Sorry if i sounded to harsh)
Posted by thorsander
Has someone managed to reconfigure the SETUP.INI-file so it works!?
I have even tried to install the software on a computer running under win 2000 pro and another running under Win NT4...

I had the same problem. Solved it by getting a USB card reader.

I was a little reluctant to by this player since I use Windows-xp read about the problems here the forums. And yes, the driver on cd does not work under win-xp.
But then I went to wap.sonyericsson.com and downloaded the newest software (login is required) and it DOES work under windows-XP (at least the English version, I am using).

Sounds interesting!
Where exactly did you find the download/program...

Can the E MP3 player read SD cards?

http://wap.sonyericsson.com/emi_download/Hpm-10/Ppmmc.zip
If it doesn't work:
1. you go to wap.sonyericsson.com
2. login (sign up if you are not already registered)
3. Under Ericsson-software you choose HPM-10
4. the above link will now appear
hope this help

Just buy a new card reader. preferably usb. as its only about £20 and its shit loads faster than the parrallel one!
Posted by PMJ
You are right it is slow. Especial when it is detecting the card.
But I got the player cheap and don’t want to spend the same amount on an additional reader/writer.
The enclosed reader/writer get the job done and I can live with the speed as long as it only 32MB. However, I would reconsider if I had a 128MB-card or other gadgets using flash-ram.

What do you mean??? Use the Explorer!! Just drag & drop the files to the drive! You need no special program.
