Sansapatcher.exe does not work, what did I do wrong?
«

Hi, I just go a new Sansa e280 and wanted to install Rockbox on it but I'm having a small problem I didn't see adressed anywhere (I've been reading for over 4h and still no solution so I'm asking here. I followed all the instructions from the manual until the part where I have to run sansapatcher.exe.
What I do : I run sansapatcher.exe, type "i" and hit enter.
What happens : the program seems to start but after a few seconds, my sansa says it is disconnected (while the battery charging icon is still on and I haven't touched the plug). At that point, nothing else happens except the fact that I can't close sansapatcher.exe even in the task manager, explorer.exe frezes if I try to open "My Computer" and the computer does not detect my Sansa if I disconnect and reconnect it (unless I reboot the computer).
Note : sansapatcher.exe detects my e280 and it is in MSC mode.
Thanks for the help!

If using sansa patcher crashes explorer, you have a driver or hardware problem. You'll need to get that sorted out before you can install rockbox.

Yup it was because of Windows. I tried it on 5 computers before finding one that worked. Everything works now, I love Rockbox!

I have a question about sansapatcher:
I'm trying to work with an external bootloader. Whenenver i type "sansapatcher --help" into sansapatcher the program just closes down.

Are you *running* the program from a DOS prompt with sansapatcher --help, or are you typing that when it asks you for i/u/c ?

So you're at a black terminal showing C:\> or whatever, and run it, and the terminal crashes?
You're not doing it from "Start->Run" and typing it in there, right?

Yup to which part, there were two questions. It'd really help, A LOT, if you'd tell us exactly what you're doing.
