Recently, I dicovered my old e.Digital TREO 15’s battery wasn’t dead. The doorway holding it to the front of the unit was loose.
I took it out of its protective case and pushed the door shut. The battery still had some life in it. So, I rummaged through my collection of power cables and found one that fit. I plugged it in and soon the machine was fully charged.
Of course, the computer on which I first installed the e.Digital’s Treo 15 Digital Music Jukebox’s installation software is no longer in use. Back to digging though things: I found the CD. Eager to hear what music I had loaded, I installed the software, plugged in the USB cable only to find the old installation software didn’t work on Windows XP Pro.
Going to the e.Digital Website didn’t help. I googled the name of the device and found a 2003 upgrade. I downloaded that, tried again, but XP still wouldn’t admit the unit was attached. Think-Think-THINK!
I reloaded the original CD, stopped autoload and chose Explore. Lo and behold, a txt file regarding installation on XP OS equipped machine.
You have to manually install the hardware, pointing the driver request to d:\drivers\ — then install the viewing software and then install the flash update.
Now all is well and I don’t feel as bad as I mentioned earlier about being iPod Free. The e.Digital TREO 15 has 15 Gb’s of memory. This pretty much holds all of the music I have on my laptop.
Joy to the world!
