For a variety of reasons I don't have a computer at the moment; I'm limited at present to the computers (running XP) at the library...and they've done something incredibly stupid: they've disabled right-click! I mean, why? Come to that, how? I didn't even know you could do that; it isn't something any rational user would ever do, is it?!

I've just tried to copy files over to the new player - a Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4GB - and WMP will not copy protected files to it. Every time it gets to one, it comes up with:

Cannot copy <track>: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.

The only options given are Skip, Skip All or Cancel. Windows Explorer, unsurprisingly, says the same. These are legally downloaded tracks. What the hell is its problem?!

As an aside, something else they've done utterly boggles the mind: the AV software - Sophos - said there was a trojan on my USB stick. Okay, fair enough. But it wouldn't actually do anything - the users don't have sufficient rights! Now is it just me, or is that crazy? What the hell's the point of having AV software if it doesn't actually work?! I had to go to my sister's place and borrow her computer, which is running Norton and destroyed the offending files quite happily. I think I'll try to copy the protected files there, too; hers is running Vista, and is properly set up...I know that because I set it up!

I think I'll try the Sandisk website, too. This is so annoying - I got the damn thing because according to the Amazon review it could handle protected .WMA files. Maybe it's just WMP11 throwing a wobbler...hardly unusual.
