PSP transfer issue

[Kur]

I got a starter kit for my PSP and came with the USB cord and some program, however it's on mini-CD which my laptop can't play. I plugged in my PSP and simply started moving files over one at a time however on the 3rd file it stopped midway, I restarted the PSP and now it won't even transfer files period.

I'm running windows vista and have the 4.05 firmware on my PSP, this was an issue on a previous firmware however I ignored it since I didn't use it too much.

What specifically is happening ? How are you "transferring the files"? Simple drag and drop should work.

Is your memory stick full ? PSP is USB mode ? Is it even being recognized by the PC ?

Shouldn't be any tricks to it, and you shouldn't need any 3rd party programs.

Bad USB cable?

It's a brand new memory card I got, dragging and dropping is what I'm doing.

PSP is in USB mode and is shown as just another drive when connected.

Make sure the memory card is formatted.

I think I had that problem once before. I'm not sure if I ever got a new USB cable to fix the problem, but I did get a memory stick to USB adapter. I'd plug that into my computer, load files onto the memory stick via adapter, then plug it into my PSP. That fixed my problem.

My computer has an MS-Pro slot, so that makes things simpler.
