HPM-10 and Win XP.
SonyEricssons support does not have a clue. Their answer to XP users is "Sorry we can't help you the product is phased out".
But if you download an unsupported driver from the maker of the Multimediacard reader/writer, Scmmicro found at ftp://ftp.scmmicro.com/dm/drivers/PPMMC%20WinXP%20BETA%20driver.zip,
you can get it to work.
This is how:
Unzip the XP driver.
Then make sure that you uninstall the orginial software and also that you uninstall the driver from your system.
Then restart with the reader connected as shown on the installation CD. When XP detects the new hardware use the unzipped EPMMC2K.inf file and then it should work. |

hi, well im just reading all your probs, for those of you that are legal windows xp owners, get SP1, then get the beta drivers as posted above, just get windows to browse the directory once they are unzipped, windows will prolly see it as a parallel port device or something, then it will see the MMC drivers, voila, no problems here.
there have been some issues with XP home, because you can only add 3 pieces of hardware to the operating system before you have to contact microsoft. so if you have a VGA card, sound and network card, and you try to add in the reader it will probably not work.
there isnt any problems with the ericsson mp3 reader, just whack it together and use the above drivers, no crashes here  |

I have to contest this piece of advice, I have windows XP home edition and so far have added, an IrDA port, MMC reader, a network card, a scanner, a video capture card/TV Tuner and all without a single call to Microsoft. I doubt very much if this is the reason that others are unable to install the reader.
I have replaced the reader at home with a sandisk USB one but am using the supplied Ericsson one at work with no issues on windows 2000, havent tried it on windows xp yet.
There have been a number of threads on this forumn dealing with getting a the drivers working on XP, I recommend using the search facility of the forumn.

Forget the headbaches with XP. Just shop around and buy a usb mmc reader. No problems and runs 100X faster than seriel |

I would go along with that, youll be much happier with your MP3 player if you have a USB card reader to copy your MP3's onto the card.

Ok, i just got one of these HPM-10's, i tried to install on winxp using those drivers from san (the xp ones) and everything seemed to be working, recoginised the reader but when i tried to copy a song over after a few secs it said something like "the file ____.mp3 could not be copied successfully, try another destination". Next thing i know the disk seems corrupted, can't even reformat. Anyone else had this problem??? Whats worse is I tried another mmc card, this time using windows 2000, with the v3.0 software, exactly same thing happens. Any ideas, much much appreciated.

I seem to be able to view files thru explorer (without having started the shuttle-it program) but when i tried to write music to the mmc it corrupted my mmc. I managed to copy one mp3 over alright but can't remember if i started the shuttle. Since I don't wanna mess up ne more mmc (they cost $$$$) i just wanted to ask, do we need to start the shuttle-it program b4 we start reading/writing to the mmc?

I also had problems with the bluescreen showing up after I installed xp. However it works now, I believe after installing all the xp upgrades from microsoft, but it runs scandisk if the MMC-card is in the reader upon booting. |
