Hi Guys,

The other day, I purchased a new Zune 80-GB device. It is a really cool device in the market for MP3 players. As I was going through the forums and pages,many people were not satisfied with the support being offered due to which many hesitate to get the device.

Okay, let me come back to the issue which I encountered on my computer. I got the device, unpacked it, installed the required package, and connected the device to the computer, but the Zune software was not able to detect the device.

So, I went in and checked the Device Manager, was able to see the Zune device with an exclamation mark. When I checked the properties for Zune device inDevice Manager, I got the below error message:

“Reinstall the drivers for this device (Code 18).”

As the error states, I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled it, but was still getting the same error message. So, I did some research on it and found out that the Windows Media Format was the culprit. So, I implemented the following steps to fix the issue,

* Disconnected the Zune Device from Computer.
* Went to Add or Remove Programs.
* Uninstalled the programs in the following order:
o Zune Language Packs.
o Zune Program.
o Windows Media Player 11 (after uninstalling Windows Media Player, restart the computer).
o Windows Media Format 11 Runtime (if you get this, you will have to restart the computer again).
* Downloaded and installed Windows Media Player and Zune Software.
* Connected the Zune Device to the computer and voila!!! it was detected on the computer and the Zune software.

Happy Zuning.
