Dear friends,
Thanks for your replies.
Well, it's working, but not after a fight.
My player was off e-bay, need I say more?
For 23 quid I got what I thought was a 4GB player, but it was hacked. It turned out to be a 2GB. I rekon the fact that it was hacked provoked the problems, I also think I have a port problem, which didn't help.
Anyway, it seemed to fix itself. Now the memory in the player states 2GB instead of 4GB and everything is loading and working fine.
To be quite honest, I'm very pleased it.
If you decide to get one off e-bay, don't buy it off 'ed2city'.
Saludos from sunny Seville
John
