Yes. It should work with your computer with Windows XP or Vista installed.

hi there,

it might be broke
.
to check if u can access it via pc, make sure>
-u do have an USB 2.0 port
-u have installed the proper drivers
(see CD that came with it-there are drivers for win98, if your winversion is win98 t!)
-if u are using windows vista, this will cause trouble,hard to fix,
try to connect to an winxp or win2000-PC instead!

this device should not need any drivers to function, the manufacturer(disney) does not provide any drivers,
but a firmware(internal driver software)
update can be found...

if you accidentally erased it, check out disney.com !
download, install and update your driver...

good luck

Hi,

Please confirm what operating system your computer runs (like Windows XP or Vista). Also, confirm if you are looking for its drivers or some other special software.

If your system is running Windows XP or Vista, you can simply plug the device in and it will automatically appear in Start > My Computer (or Computer). You can then simply drop your music files (such as MP3s) straight onto the device.

With regards.

The software will most likely not install on Vista and if it does it will probably fail to run correctly. However the software isn't necessary to be able to put music on the player. Just start Windows Media Player and go to the Sync screen. You'll see the Sync button in the top right. You'll see that it splits WMP into two fields, on the right is the sync list and on the left is the library of songs. All you have to do is drag the songs you want from the library on the left to the sync list on the right where it says "Drag items here to create a list to sync" and then click start sync. It will then begin copying the songs to the player.

The disk that came with it doesn't seem to work for me with Windows Vista. Instead you can use it as a mass storage device.

The movies are hard to find. Try looking at http://store.digiblue.com/category_s/32.htm. That is the wedsite for the manufacturer. Also try Disney shopping.com.

I have Windows Vista and the first time I plugged in the Mix Max it immediately downloaded the device drivers. I opened my Windows Media Player and it already recognized the player. I just transferred songs over walla they are on the player. Hope that helps.

The software won't install but you don't need it in order to use it. It's a plug in that interfaces with Windows Media Player. Since Vista comes with Windows Media Player 11 you can just go to the sync page to add songs to the player.
