Like I said I appreciate it. But I do refuse to buy a memory card in addition to the AR, if perhaps the guy I know cannot get me one. Would simply exchanging the AR help and perhaps get me a working card? Or are more of them bad than not?

The issue concerning the defective cards are know virtualy by a vast majority of gamers dating back to they're first release of the product and the company is aware of this,since that time a new product has been released know as their "Max" drive and no know problems as far as I've seen have been reported or documented.

I myself have contacted the company and was told by officials there that some reports have been made to them about their problems dealing with defective cards unfortunatly no recall of the product was ever put into action since not enough of them were cause for alarm therefore no recall of said product.

In my recourse to eliviate the problem it was suggest by "Datel" to return the product from where I made my purchase and exchange it for another,I did so and the same problem still exsisted with the new "AR"...I was highly upset and found myself with an infearior product that being the card that came with the "AR".

It was only after investigating the source of the problem via web sites and inquirys that I happened across articles and posts that suggested the use of "Microsoft Cards" to eliviate the problem...it is not the "AR" itself that was the cause but the memory cards that came packaged with them.

After another call to "Datel" they told me the cards from "Microsoft" were not combatable and would not work...boy were they wrong or badly misinformed the cards from "Microsoft" work perfectly and I've no problems since making the switch.

Perhaps a bad batch of memory cards got out and were not recalled due to the small number of them out there unfortunatly I was a victim of one of them and there was nothing the company would do other then provide me with another "AR" that still had the bad card included...as I stated before I went out and purchased a "Microsoft" card and have had no problems since.

This may not be your case since it has been awhile since I made my purchase from the first release of the product and a newer one has been released but at that time for me that is what the sitution and circumstances came to...I know of quite a few guys who went through what I did and have since warned of this defect in their product and many have used this advise to solve simular problems with the results being the same...new card "AR" works...same card "AR" does not work.

So as I suggest before try a different card or purchase a "Microsoft" card and see what works for you.

Wow thank you very much. I actually repackaged it and brought it to work with me today to exchange it for another one tonight after work. Hopefully I will get lucky, but chances are from the same store at close to same time, I will get another one from the same "batch" that they had 2 days ago. Thanks again, I was just going nuts thinking I was somehow doing something incorrectly.

I had the same problem. Seciond AR, no issues with the card. Any store will continue replacing it until you get one that works. And Datel told me they'd replace any defective parts.
