HI its the one that looks like a mini ipod black its 4gb tho i no that might not b rite now and got a 1.5 " screen . error message pops up in the menu bar by the clock in the bottem right and says this

"one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned. and windows does not recognise it. for assistance in solving this problem click this message"

this pops up then disappears and the player flicks in and out of the screen with it linked to the computer. im running on xp. not connected before. do i need a driver for the usb port??
