PC doesn't recognise my Sony Walkman.
I get a small balloon saying a USB device has malfunctioned and nothing more, I've tried upgrading the firmware however it get a something called a Code 10, saying the device had reported errors and Windows had cancelled the connection.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium and it's a Sony Walkman NWZ-A729. | My System Specs |

Just to let you know Windows7 can recognise a Walkman, although I'm unable to say why you're encountering difficulties. I've got a NWZ-A818 model and it gets detected perfectly under devices and hardware, and works beautifully. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine

Windows 7 recognizes my NWZ-S545 just fine. The only confusing bit is this....if I remove the USB cable from the computer, which I do sometimes because I have an AC USB charger for it, then the next time I connect it to the computer, it reinstalls it as a second Walkman. It hasn't been a problem, I just remove the previous image, but it's strange that it happens. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

If not recognized, it needs a driver. By driver do you mean Firmware? Because I tried updating the latest version however it kept saying there was no device connected to the PC. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7
