Hiya all,
You may have seen the other post on this combination, but with some help I have got most of the way there !
However, I now have an interesting problem. I am trying to install ppmmc.zip, which contains the parallel port multimedia card driver for win2000. However, having done this and a reboot ( as requested ), I keep getting win2000 saying that it has found new hardware ( SHUTTLE ETAPI REV# 00 ) and that it needs a driver - clearly, something is going pear-shaped in the installation of the driver.
I got to a stage where I booted win2000, uninstalled the hardware, and then ran the driver installation s/w - this went fine, and even prompted the new hardware wizard - great I thought, its going to install the driver automatically - BUT IT DIDNT ! So, I thought okay, I know where the software is, I'll point it at the right driver !
For reference, driver s/w located at :
c:\Program Files\PP_MMC\EPMMC2K.INF
However, it refused to recognise it as a driver !!!
Does anyone know what is going on here
I am presently downloading the zip file from the Ericsson site hoping that there might be something slightly different in it
help !

1) download MultiMediaCard reader PnP String eraser for Windows 2000. Unzip it. Run "2000Parallel.exe" and follow the on screen instructions.
Download pnperase.zip Here
2) Install the Driver (version 3.0) again |

One solution is to simply throw the parallell writer away.. because it is simply very very slow.
And by a Sandisk USB writer instead.
It costed me 350 Swedish kronor.
roughly 40 EUR. |

The driver from the support section of http://www.sonyericsson.com/uk should work. |

I spent days on this previously, and the only XP solution is to buy a USB MMC reader/writer from your local computer shop.
None of the parallel drivers work in XP and even when forced by hacking the INF Windows XP bluescreens. |

For the computer illeterate that found this forum on Google: I downloaded the driver, there's an INF and a SYS file in there, what do I do with it (where do I put it)?
Do I then need to do something else? Please give me an idiot-proof solution, I really need it.
Thx
