Thanks to both tadad1 and binh, admin for replying to my plea for help on the 12th of June.
I am so sorry I didn't get back earlier. Genuinely tried, just stumbled back across the site almost by accident after giving up last week :roll:

Umm, ok, tadad1, I'm going to read the tutorials right now. Hope it's not too difficult, I really am stupid. Just reading the instructions you placed is daunting enough without what you putting being a brief overview!

Binh, yeah, radio worked fine when first bought it about a week before I came here asking for help but I couldn't get it to charge. One day it just started charging. I didn't do anything, it just meant that I could now listen to it away from the pc it was attached to permanently. At the same time, I started getting the hard error message when selecting the radio.

If it looks too hard I really will not bother! Why can't I just drag files around like music!?



MP4 Owner Part 3......

As a clear indication of my level of computer and computer related intelligence, I can't actually figure out how to reply to a topic. I just wanted to add something to my last one.
Please please tell me how to reply to a topic and then how to download the manuals which tell me what to download. I really haven't got a clue. Not even a shred of a clue.
I mean, do I simply remove the operating system from the player, which to me is like lobotomising it, then feed it a new one.
I think, this is how it reads to me:
1) download tool to download operating system from player
2) download operating system from player, copy it and save it somewhere safe.
3) Download a program for uploading operating system
4) download a fresh clean unused, unabused operating system
5) upload the new operating system
6) expect it to be how it should be. radio n all.
Cos if that's it I think i can do it.
Well, if tadad1 will be so kind as to do the links one at a time,
e.g.
This one downloads the download tool: just save it

then

To extract system from player you need to:
1) plug it in
2) go to xyz in the system menu
3) etc etc
4) save it to a file called old system etc etc

then

this is an upload tool. download and save it.

I know i sound thick. Really I'm not but i'm still missing so much, when i read the how to modify a thingy site by the administrator i understand it perfectly, word for word. But, just what the hell do i plug the thing into and what do i do with it once it's there?!
P.s how do i reply to a messaeg in a topic?
