Sansa c240 causes Windows Media Player down

I am desperate for help.  I have been using my c240 (version 01.01.07P) for about 10 months now to listen to audio books from our public library.  The library uses a program called OverDrive Media to download the tracks and transfer them to the device.  LMOS relies on Windows Media Player (I got WMP11 since its release).  When I downloaded a new book a few days ago and tried to transfer it, I kept getting error messages that apparently referred to DRM issues.  I tried to download a different book, tried the fixes the error troubleshooting site advocated, and now, as soon as I plug my c240, it causes WMP11 to stop working completely.  I am at a loss if it is a problem of device or Microsoft.  WMP11 works very well if the appliance is not plugged in, so I suspect that maybe it's the unit.  Any thoughts?  I can't drag and drop the audiobook files because they are .wma files and apparently converts all LMOS by transferring.  I appreciate any idea that someone could offer.

Well, the problem is solved, it turns out that it was a problem with Windows Media Player.  Apparently, when I have updated the firmware on my c240, DRM of WMP because the new configuration as a potential threat.  DRM files have been corrupted somehow and a helpful person on the Windows Media Group has the fix, although it took several tries and about 2 days to understand.

  • Cannot sync Sansa e250 with Windows Media Player on Windows Vista

    OP: MP3 player does not connect. Sansa e250. Has worked before. Windows media player does not. Meter turns, but does not sinc for Windows Media Player

    Please help me solve this problem.

    Hello paj137,

    1. do you have an error when attempting to sync with Media Player, or everything just doesn't detect media player?

    2. don't you make changes to the computer before it stopped working?

    3. will the player detected in Windows Explorer?

    First check to see if the drive is detected on your computer. Try to copy the files of music from Windows Explorer.

    Most MP3 players will appear as a "disk" on your computer, and you can browse the files on them by simply opening.

    If you can do this, you should be able to copy / delete / move files between the MP3 player and the computer.

    Also try to set media player to manually synchronize with Media Player. This article should help you with that:

  • I get a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem" when I browse me videos.

    When I browse my library of videos in Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3, I got a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close." The message does not appear immediately, but after about 5 seconds browsing my library of videos. The details of the error are:
    AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: ModName 11.0.5721.5145: deinterlace.ax
    ModVer: 1.0.1.0 Offset: 00001cba

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Someone just tell me how to solve the problem. Apparently, some corrupt videos caused Windows Media Player to plant as soon as thumbnails of the videos have been read. I quickly changed to a non-thumbnail view, so the error would not appear (it appears only when you try to load the photos), then deleted corrupted videos. Thanks for the help, if.

  • Problem with Windows Media Player on your computer.

    I tried to load a program called Yawcam which can be used to control a webcam.  Installation of Yawcam has asked if I wanted Windows Media Center to view the Webcam.  I clicked Yes.  Serious mistake.  Windows Media Center has taken over my computer.  I have changed throughout most of my icons on the desktop for a Media Center icon, and clicking on one of them causes Windows Media Player start up, even the icons which are always original.  I can't find any setting in Media Player which will solve the problem.  I can't even start Yawcom.  And unfortunately I did not define a recovery point.  Can someone tell me how to retrieve my Windows Media Center desktop icons and return control of my computer myself?

  • Impossible to copy files to the Sansa Fuze using Windows 7 (drag and drop, or Windows Media Player)

    Hello

    Yesterday, I bought the Sansa Fuze and I have problems copying files to the device using either Windows Media Player (Sync) or Drag and Drop (Explorer).

    The symptoms are:

    (1) the device is recognized and available in Windows 7 (Series USB MSC - sorry don't have it with me right now)

    (2) took me to upgrade to the latest firmware, which has worked flawlessly

    (3) when I try to drag and drop a file on the device (I use Windows 7, 64-bit), it starts, but doesn't seem to calculate the size of the files or waiting time to download correctly.  It is followed by a slow progressive, until the computer crashes, resulting in a constant 100% of the CPU.  The only solution is a hard reboot

    (4) when you use Windows WM, the device is recognized, okay and the synchronization starts, but it then stops without reason.  Once again, the processor springs and requires a reboot

    (5) using the results 3 and 4 in 1-5 files being copied across, but not more.

    (6) I tried several albums and one album at a time, but cannot determine if that makes a difference.

    Help, please!

    See you soon,.

    It may be a bug in Windows 7. But one thing to try is to go to the Device Manager (assuming that Windows 7 still has), uninstall the "rocket" (under USB controllers), and then run add hardware to find and reinstall the driver.

    Use the MTP with Windows Media Player mode, MSC mode without.

  • Sansa e260 not recognized by Windows Media Player in MSC mode

    Hello

    I have a problem. When I connect my Sansa e260 in my PC, Windows Media Player 12 will not recognize it. I can still see it in the computer, including the Micro SD card. When it's in MTP mode I can see it in WMP, but I don't see that micro SD. thing is I want to download some new songs on the Micro SD card that I can't see. I don't know if I can download songs on the player itself, because I don't have any space left there and I dare not remove anything where I won't be able to download stuff on him. I'm running on Windows 7. This problem occurred during the night. I change not all components, nor that I have installed all new programs. I also tried different USB ports, firmware reinstallation, trying even Rockbox.

    That's about all. Any idea is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Set mode MSC, where the map stands as a separate disk. (MTP mode is for control via WMPlayer or Media Monkey).

    Albums of drag - move around the map.
