My unit sometimes locks up while uploading via USB,
Carl --
Take a good long look through
this thread and you will see that you are not alone.
I would be
very interested in the particulars of the AMD patch you downloaded from Microsoft. Can you provide a URL? Have you had a chance to see if it solved your problem?
I now have all of my music installed in my empeg, so I no longer get the opportunity to do large downloads but I am pretty sure the problem is unresolved as I have had occasional lockups occur on small downloads. Interestingly, the lockups happen ONLY with my home computer (an AMD K6-2 at 500 MHz) and never on my work computer (A Pentium III at 550 MHz).
