This could answer why the PP might not be charging and the computer is locking up ie: Windows accessing the USB device, the cable failing and Windows locking up as a result of not being able to access any further. If you computer locks up just leave it for 5-10 min and see if the computer comes right. Sounds similar to Windows accessing and losing midway a network drive....locks the system.
- I have experiences with some MP3 players that is when the device isn't unmounted properly they can fail to start. From what I had read in the past it was something to do with locked files, certain sectors not cleared and files not fully written to the drive, a job usually done as part of the unmounting process (think of it as you not shutting down your computer properly and a disk scan occuring next reboot).
Just a thought.

Since everything seemed to work OK over my lunch break, I decided to try again, and was able to access the built in memory well enough, although slow, but the flash card never did work. I couldn't get them to turn off and ended up having to hit reset on the reader again.
Today I'm not impressed with the USB support, and general stability of my reader, but I'm glad it seems to still be working.
