I have the Olympus Digital Voice Recorder VN-4100PC. I have downloaded the driver software on my PC and the wave 2.1.4. I have downloaded the driver for a Windows 7 64-bit PC. I cannot get anything to happen when I plug in the recorder to to usb port. The recorder display flashes "PC" on the screen, and the computer does nothing. How do I get the files to download to my PC?

If you checked their website and did not see the drivers for download then you will need to contact them to have them send the drivers to you. Their telephone number is 888-553-4448 option 5 and then option 2 for voice recorders.

DRIVER SOFTWARE

Download the digital player from this link. http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/digitalwaveplayer.zip

Plug in the voice recorder again and it should now find the software automatically through window's automatic hardware finder wizard.

In all fairness, Beerlal posted this solution but to a slightly different question.

Hope this helps
