If you have previously connected the recorder:
1. Make sure the recorder is connected correctly.
2. Open the 'System' control panel: Start menu -> Control Panel -> System.
3. Click the 'Hardware' tab and then click the 'Device Manager' button.
4. Right-click the item that shows as 'Digital Voice Recorder' and choose 'Uninstall' or 'Remove'.
5. Disconnect the recorder.

If you have the software already installed:
1. Open the 'Add / Remove Programs' (Pre-Vista/Windows 7) OR 'Programs and Features' (Vista/Windows7) control panel: Start menu -> Control Panel -> Add / Remove Programs (Pre-Vista/Windows 7) OR Programs and Features (Vista/Windows7).
2. Click 'Olympus Digital Wave Player' and choose 'Change / Remove' or 'Uninstall'.

Please restart the computer before reinstalling if you had connected the recorder or installed the software previously.

Need compleet software en drivers for Olympus vn2100pc to work on windows 7 ultimate 32bit

See this page of downloads for your vn-2100pc. Notice there is only for 7 64-bit:

http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/software_results.asp?id=1270&os=w

However, on this page (under the heading "Which Computer Operating Systems Support the VN-2100pc?") is info for running in 7 32-bit. It says, "After downloading and installing Digital Wave Player v2.1.4, the recorder and software can also be used with 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7." Go here:

Device not detected by olympus digital wave player on win xp plat

What I did was follow the advise from this page -> https://www.fixya.com/secure/support/t1684682-file_transfer_vn_480pc_doesnt_work
Solution:
Go to Control Panel and press Add Hardware. Search for new hardware and allow windows to go on the net to search for the drivers. It will find and install drivers. After that functionality in the Digital Wave Player will become active and you can transfer your files onto pc.

Olympus VN-3100PC drivers for Vista x64

Unfortunately there is no way to make this recorder compatible to Vista 64 bit operating system. You may want to call Olympus customer service and see if they can do an exchange to a VN-3200PC or a VN-5200PC as these recorders are both compatible to that operating system. Their telephone number is 800-622-6372 option 2 and then option 3.
