790 iriver - XP doesn't recognize driver so I can't update or anything usb! pls help!!

 

I purchased an iRiver 790 (mp3 player) series from ebay. It connects

to my computer ok - USB connected - but I can't run the firmware

update. The iRiver didn't come with any manuals or software, so I am

trying to play catch-up now.

 

When I downloaded the driver (Ifp700.inf), I right click on the file,

hit install and nothing happens. When I check the Device Drivers, I

get a yellow Exclamation mark beside the Iriver 790 HIGH SPEED USB.

When I try and install the driver, it says THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH

THIS DRIVER.

Not sure what to do at this point. Any ideas?
