Hi first time posting here I just got one of this players Philips HDD082 2gb problem Im have is im running winme can't install the software guess I need winxp, I installed winmedia 9 player no help there, is there a way around this? I dont want to upgrade to xp. Thanks
Hi, Same problem here but i upgraded to win-xp with service pack 2. I think we need to have win-xp with service pack 1 or higher as the HDD082 box mentions.. Sting
Is that the only problem that you have with it? I'm trying to convince someone to get it for me for x-mas. So I need to know. Any other problems? Sound? Battery life? Stuff like that.
@Rzapata theres no need to make nasty comments this was califmans first post here and im sure you never got a response like that when you made your first post did you ? i know i did'nt , remember this is a help forum we all try to help one another not make stupid comments , just my 2pence worth and im sure 99.9% of the other members would agree with me . @califman have you tried just updating to media player 10 , and pluging the player in via usb ? i know i can do this with my ipod without havin itunes installed (i do this when im travelling , ie my parents house ) give it ago and see it might not work but its worth a try mark
celticfc1 Thanks I tryed installing media player 10 it wont let me telling me I need xp installed, sucks, poprox57: Thats the only problem im having but I can't load mp3's to here how it sounds.
Does it say in the details for the mp3 player that you need xp ? if it does then there is no other option but to update to xp or return the player tell the store you cant use it and you should be able to get a refund , then try another player , might i recommend the 2gb ipod nano its pretty good , same spec as the philips and itunes will run on me
HDD082 works with .. 1) WINDOWS 2000 + WMP9 + install all the software that has come with the player on the CDs. 2) WINDOWS XP + SP1 & higher + WMP10. It is working perfect for me for both these combinations. At home (XP) + at office (2000). Do not go for junk iPod, HDD082 is Play For Sure & best !
RETURN IT NOW. I bought mine, worked great for two days then stopped. Maufacture told me it was defective. Returned it got a new one. Three days this time then same thing. Today I got my third one, now caculate the odds here, and it worked for an hour then the same thing happened. This time I got my money back. My brother, who got the same one, opened his for christmas. Got a call from him today. His doesn't work anymore also. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAP PRODUCT
hey, somehow the driver was deleted from my mp3 player, anyone have some info as to where to get the driver and then how to install it without the phillips device manager, because the device maneger cant even read the device without the drivers so it cant update or repair, black balled, lol, help please, i don't want a $150 paperweight
Mine Did the same thing...when I start Device Manager it say that it is missing a file and that I need to reconnect to the computer...It won't let me copy the new firmware manually by copying it to the data folder...I really need help with this as well!!!
