How to get you're new 16g P2 to work

I think I'm going to have to send the 16 gb p2 back. There's not even an option to format that card, it's grayed out in the menu.

There is no P2 Simple Check software available yet for the 16GB card. Just the 2, 4 and 8GB. I would try formatting it with P2 Viewer if possible.

Best regards,

So my firmware is up to date yet the card doesn't work, I can't format it via a computer because the "device fails to start" in the device manager and the drivers won't install correctly because they can't detect the card. P2 viewer or manager can't see it.

I guess it's dead, how do I go about sending it back for a new one?

4 and a half months wait for a dead card...
 
Have you updated the drivers in the computer?

EVERY device that looks at a card needs to be updated in order to work with the 16GB cards. The computers, the P2 Stores, the cameras, the 5-slot readers, everything.
 
This is a simple one, but someone just did this recently, so I want to make sure... Your computer has a pcmcia slot that you are using and not an expresscard slot right?

Every device is using whatever I could download from panasonic. When I go to install the drivers for the P2 card on my laptop (the cardbus choice) I get through the menu until it comes to the part where you have to remove and reinsert the card, I cannot get past that option, it just won't recognize it. Same thing happened in another computer with the same downloaded drivers.

When I try to install the drivers manually through the device manager, it makes it through but then says the "device cannot start error (10)," and won't mount the card.

With the latest firmware on the camera, it says it is an incompatible card, and the p2 manager and the viewer cannot see it when connected through USB.

Thanks for your guys' help.
