Excessive use kills it

I bought this media player a couple of years ago as the price was good and I thought my old one was broken. I had a Sansa before, have since discovered the micro sd card was the cause of the Sansa's malfunction and tend to use it more than this one as...

Good product,good price,but I cannot get it to work properly on Vista. The player doesn't download from the BBC iplayer. Luckily I have an older laptop running XP,on which it works fine.This is inconvenient as I had not envisaged having to dig out old...
