windows xp, yes, but what abotu windows 2k? will windows 2000 be sufficient to interact with this device? all the text i see says XP is the minimum requirement...

Would appreciate someone explaining significance of playing UMS/MSC on 2000 but not MTP. I have 2000 and only need the device to provide stored music (CD'S and downloaded stuff including protected WMA) input for my stero system.

Window's XP is not a requirement at all. I have Win2k and I do everything this device can do. The one obstacle is that WMP10 does not work in Win2k, but there are tons of BETTER programs that do.

Not so, it would seem. I'm reliably informed that the Sansa will work on Windows 2000 when the player is in UMS/MSC mode. Windows XP is only needed for MTP mode. Seems a bit silly that Sandisk don't mention this, but a couple of people told me they are running 2000 and still using the player.

Yup, just switch the USB Mode and it will basically be a USB Storage Device, according to the computer. I've tried it on Windows 98, Ubuntu, and Mac - all three recodnized them.MTP mode just makes it so you can sync libraries and stuff. If you are running the other mode, then be sure you have put tags on your songs, and they must be v2.

While I have XP at home, I have 2000 at work. I can confirm that the Sansa definitely works in both locations in MSC mode.

Windows Xp is minimum requirement. That means you must have windows XP. How is this confusing?

The system requirements indicate it is compatible with Windows XP, SP3/Windows Vista SP1, Pentium III 800 MHz or higher. My system is Windows 7, so if it is indicating that it is compatible with a higher version also, I would tend to think that your Windows 8 system would be acceptable, but I do not see Windows 8 listed per se. Bottom line, I would think it would work but cannot be certain about that.

I think you need Windows Vista or Windows XP. Those are the two requirements on the box. I'm sorry it took so long to respond. I have been away from my home. Thank you.

All I know is that it did not work with XP or win 2000. You might get lucky but I sure hope you like to play.

It is working now for windows XP pro. I can't honestly tell if it works for win 2000.

Does anyone worry about buying netbooks and this computer and Microsoft ending support for XP like they eventually did for Windows 98 ? I would want 2GB of RAM if I ever had to install Vista...

Microsoft is about to quit providing any kind of support for Windows XP, including updating drivers and virus protection. I'm not 100% sure of the exact date, but I think it's sometime in April, 2014. While your asus certainly SHOULD have the power to run XP, I am not at all familiar with that machine. If it is a tablet or a netbook of some kind, I would advise you not to mess with it - unless you are VERY savvy when it comes to PC hardware and software installations. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging your current software installation which may end up making it useless and certainly would void any warrantees you have on your machine.

System requirements (from the package) call for Windows XP/Vista. I would try to contact the manufacturer if possible and ask them.

I don't know. I am just a very average user who had to update because Windows was no longer supporting XP

The driver for the USB cable is the problem. Use a reproduction Kenwood serial cable and it works with Win2000/XP.

You'll need to upgrade to Windows XP, if you haven't already. Also, you'll need more memory -- at least 1 gb. Maybe a bifgger hard drive, too.

Not sure, I was running Windows 7, then about 4 months after purchase had to have it worked on and was replaced with Windows XP.

I wouldn't advise it. Since Microsoft servers do not support a lot of XP systems anymore. I suggest upgrading to Windows seven.I have Windows 7 Ultimate and a great video card. If you do this, make sure your power supply in your pc can handle a better video card.Otherwise, you can damage your system.

I've only used it with Win7 and Vista, but there's nothing that jumped out at me that suggested it shouldn't work with XP. It should be noted though that it's slow and barely functional on all versions of Windows - it's just poorly written software period.

The box states that the minimum system requirements are Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz. I hope this helps.

It works perfectly under my Windows XP, but if you have a version that does not support usb ports, you´ll have to install the drivers separately. But the hardware works perfect :)
