A mp3 player (Zen Nano, if that matters) attached to a computer. Till now worked just fine.

Windows upon attaching didn't give any message (no baloons, no nothing). I thought the thing has died. Then I downloaded NirSoft's USBDeview, and it showed that it's still there with a drive letter F:

The player's normally accessible through command prompt. I can do everything with it I normally do (copy files, delete files ...). If I start explorer from the command prompt (via "explorer .") it won't start. Nothing happens. If I start explorer via start menu, it doesn't show the drive.

Any ideas ? All suggestions appreciated.

According to this forum post, it could be a slight mismatch of drive letters for Zen Plus in windows.

I figured it out. What I had to do was connect my Zen and go into the disk management utility - right-click on My Computer and click Manage. The zen should appear as a drive. Right-click on it and select Change Drive letter and paths...

Change the Drive letter to a free drive and click Ok. It should work immediately!

Also, you may consider updating your pc's USB drivers. Be sure to make a system restore point before (even though this would probably be done automatically)

Aparently the problem fixed itself this morning. Don't know what it was, or how it fixed itself. Note to myself: Gotta restart windows at least twice a month. – ldigas Aug 13 '09 at 19:24
