Per King Sparta's suggestion, I've reposted this topic with a new subject line...  Here's the problem:

I'm having an issue transferring mp3's from MC to my Creative NX 20gb.  I've downloaded and installed the plug in from MC, however when I connect my NX I immediately get a 'Server Busy' dialog box from MC.  If I choose "switch-to", my start menu pops up. At this point, I'm locked in a loop where retry gets me know where and switch-to pops up my start menu.  I force an end task via the Task Manager and relaunch MC.

I can now find my NX under handhelds, however the server busy dialog again pops up (which it continues to do repeatedly when connected).  It eventually displays the tracks on my NX.  I can now drag files to my NX in the action window, and the "click here to continue bar" comes up.  When I click on it, I get another Server Busy error, I click the tranfer button and get the "analyzing files" pop up. After clicking through many more of the Server Busy pop ups, eventually the files transfer to my NX.  Now, however, the transfer dialog box doesn't go away (or if it does, the analyzing audio files dialog box) comes up.  I then have to force quit the program again and restart it.

Since this whole process can take 20+ minutes plus to transfer 10 tracks, it's driving me nuts.  I've tried uninstalling everything I can think of that my be causing a conflict (i.e. Musicmatch, Itunes, Creative's software and driver, Notmad), but it continues to happen.  

I appreciate you reading the novel I've written here, are there any ideas on how to correct this?

Thanks!

Here's the info for the plugin I'm using for my player (Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen NX - Model # DAP-HD0009) Plugin (.31)

and here's my system info from MC:

What version of the NX drivers do you have installed? Where did you get them?

I'm using the Creative 1.23.0 drivers that I downloaded from the Creative website...

I just tested this on two clean XP pcs with MC 9.1.36, plugin 9.0.32, and Nomad driver 1.23. I am unable to duplicate your problem. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

You could try MC 10 and see if that makes a difference. Also, you could try going to Tools->Plugin Manager->Handheld->Portable Device->Configure and select 'Enable WMDM'. This will access your Nomad in a generic way using what is called a WMDM interface. It will be interesting to see if that works. Be sure to disable this when you want to go back to using the plugin.
