FP3 player I am in need of the software for my sons Fisher Price Kid-Tough FP3 player...

Unfortunately, your laptop probably has Windows 8 x64. Fisher Price never made drivers for any Windows 64 bit OS. If you had a 32-bit version of Windows, I'd suggest the Fisher Price Windows Vista and 7 software. It's available here: http://service.mattel.com/us/technicalproductdetail.aspx?prodno=K3420&siteid=27&catid=516 .

You could try upgrading to Win8 Pro and using Hyper-V to install a legal copy of XP 32-bit (if you can find one), then use the virtual copy of XP to connect to the FP3. (Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate offered Virtual PC with XP mode to get a copy of XP 32-bit without the expense of a licensed copy.) Otherwise, you need a computer with an older and 32-bit OS. However, 32-bit OS's are limited to a maximum of 3GB of memory.

I wish that I had better news for you.

Start here to find a store near you.

it should be on the sleeve of the CD ROM came in.

I'm not sure which light you are referring to but my daughters dvd player blinks on the side right by the brightness controls when it is charging.

See the Fp3 FAQ Sheet from Mattell (Fisher Price Parent Company). It has links to the drivers you misplaced as well as Vista Drivers

Read this guys rant about the player and how he converts the files.

you need to go to Fisher Prices web site for the FP3 player and download the driver and software for VISTA, it originally only shiped with XP driver and software.

I had the same problem and when I spoke to Fisher Price they had me format the player. Very quick and simple. Go to My computer, Right Click on the Drive the player is on and click on format. I did not have any songs in my computer yet so I don't know if you will have to redownload them after formatting. The player works great now and my daughter loves it.

FYI- Software is not comaptible with 64 bit computers.
