2. If this does not work, proceed to Formatting Your Player.

Formatting Your Player

WARNING: This step deletes all your player's content. If possible, back up all your player's content on your computer before proceeding.

1. Make sure your player is connected to your computer and you are logged on in Administrator mode. For details about Administrator mode, see your operating system's documentation.
