I just got one for Christmas and I’m having the same problem.  I think it’s our PC, according to Sansa, “The Sansa players support Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista and above.”  We only have XP Pro…wish I’d gotten an ipod…sigh.

I am having this same issue. I tried setting MSC in the USB Mode option under Settings. I even tried forcing MSC mode using the Hold switch method and it is still going from Connected -> Writing -> Disconnected -> Connected -> writing -> etc. and so forth.

I have Windows XP Pro w/ SP2 and WMP11. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem.  When I changed to MSC, my computer would at least recognize briefly before disconnecting again, but basically the same results.  Connected - Writing - Disconnected over and over.  I hope to hear some solutions prior to me returning the Clip.

Thanks.

I am having all the problems that everyone else has. I have Windows XP SP2 and everything else you need, and I can’t force it into MSB mode.

Did you guys try opening up Windows Media Player and seeing if it recognizes the San Disk while it’s connected?

I’m also assuming that you right-clicked “My Computer” and then selected “Explore” and looked through all your drive listings to see if the SanDisk appears in that list.

I had the same problem until I downloaded Media player 10.  That or I got lucky.

The problem is not that the computer isnt reconizing it.  It is showing it for the second it takes to connect and disconnect. like one of the previous posts stated it connectes then writes and then disconnects all in the matter of about 1-3 seconds.
