yellowjade, Try disconnecting the player from your PC. Count five or six pins in from either side of the chip using a pair of tweezers a bent paperclip what ever and connect the 2 points. Keeping the 2 points crossed connect your player to your PC. If all went well the new hardware window should open, now direct it to the adfuupdate.ini. Keep the points crossed until the driver is installed.
If this does not work you may have to disconnect one of the battery wires on your player and repeat the process.
