Hi all. I am trying to plug in my (USB) Curtis 1gb MP3 player to my PC and upload some music to it. I have done it once before and it worked as it should, this was before I upgraded to WMP11. Now that I have WMP11 (a few months ago), Windows won't recognize my mp3 player. I keep getting the error "MTP WPD Driver has failed to start. Error 0x80042013." in the event viewer, 2 every minute while it tries to connect the device..

I have tried a certain registry fix described here, but that didn't work. I have also tried to rollback WMP11 to an earlier version like it says here, but I don't have "Windows Media Format 11 Runtime" in my programs box.

It appears I have 3 options left:
- leave the music that is already on there, on there.
- format my computer so WinXP installs WMP9.
- go buy a new mp3 player that is compatible with WMP11.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
