Has anyone managed to get the MMC reader that comes with the HPM-10 MP3 player to work with Windows XP???
I have tried plugging it in and it comes up as 'Shuttle EPATI REV# 00' but when I try to install the drivers that came with it it comes up with an error. I've also tried the drivers from the Ericsson site and from the SanDisk site, but they give me a blue screen on reboot...
Any ideas appreciated.

install the latest software from sonyericsson....
and if a blue screen appear for no reason use the roll back feture
PRESS F8 between the time the bios finishes and the winxp logo apears then you shull have a menu ., from there use the roll back feature.
Your will will be back as it was

Thanks for the help, but like I said, I've installed the ones from the ericsson site and I got a blue screen so I used system restore.
Any other ideas??

Bought a $15 USB reader from CompUSA

Okay, I think I have solved it.
To get the parallel port reader working, get the windows 2000 driver from the scnmicro site (ftp://ftp.scmmicro.com/dm/drivers/Ppmmc.zip).
Shut down your PC and plug in the parallel port reader.
Turn on the PC. When it auto detects the reader, hit cancel and install the scn windows 200 drivers.
Reload. You will get a blue screen - turn your pc off.
Disconnect the reader from the parallel port, but not the keyboard half.
Turn on the PC and after it has booted, plug the reader back into the port.
Go to the device manager, right click on your computer icon and hit 'scan for hardware changes'. The reader will be detected.
Now the mmc card will act like a removable disk.
I suggest using hibernate instead of shutting down fully as your pc will blue screen every time it attempts to boot up with the reader connected, so you will have to unplug, turn on and plug back in.
That's it. Hope you can get it to work. I know it's not 100% nice, but it has saved me buying a new reader.
Any other ideas, let me know.

This trick works nicely with the standard SE drivers.

Well, I have the XP driver problem for the HPM-10 as well. I tried the elaborate instructions from dickin from april 2nd 2002, on two different machines, and it didn't work. When I scan for hardware changes, I still get Shuttle Epati. Can anyone help?
