Try doing a hard reset on a Sansa m250:

1. Turn off the Sansa. Just pull the battery out for a second and then reinstall the battery without pushing any further buttons.
2. Plug the Sansa into a computer, and open "My Documents" in the computer.
3. Open the Sansa file as if it were a drive, then go to the "MUSIC Specific storage" file.
4. Right click the "MUSIC Specific storage" file, and press "Format."

SOURCE: Sansa M250 Freezes Upon Power UP

Actually, by opening the player up and making random connections with a paper clip, I was able to get it past the freeze screen! But when ever I power it down, it still freezes upon power up, and now it's erased the songs I had on it, so this is only a temporary "solution".

Win XP does not need an addl driver - it should just plug and play; check Sansa's driver page as a precaution:

For the Sansa m250 you do not need a cd. Just download the manual, stick a triple A battery in, plug it into your computer and upload your music. Then read the manual to see the various functions for each button. Enjoy
