Tuula Sturk
This download updates the Digital Wave Player software bundled with Olympus VN-*PC series digital voice recorders from version 2.1.1 to 2.1.4. It enables Digital Wave Player versions 2.0 and later to operate on computers running 32-bit editions on the Windows Vista and earlier and 64 bit up to Windows 7 operating systems, including those that use AMD Turion or Intel Core2 Duo processors. It also resolves the issue of sorting audio files by date on the VN-2100PC and VN-3100PC digital voice recorders. This download contains only an update program. The full application must be installed prior to running the update.
This driver will enable the VN-120PC, VN-240PC, VN-480PC, VN-960PC, VN-2100PC, VN-3100PC, VN-3200PC and VN-4100PC digital audio recorders to operate with 64-bit editions of the Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Before installing the driver, Digital Wave Player 2.1.4 or later must be installed on the computer. (Compressed .zip file 1.73MB) (09/2009).

This post discusses some of my learning about connecting the Olympus VN-960PC digital voice recorder (DVR) to Windows and Linux. One unexpected discovery: audio quality was much higher in Linux. But more on that in a moment.
Don't give up hope !
Over the years I've had a couple of Olympus digital recorders & they both have given me the two error messages. Either 'err' or 'chk'. Sometimes the recorders will give you one message, then the other, or will simply give you one message either on constant display or blinking. I believe you can 'reset' any of the Olympus digital recorders by a combination of holding down two of the front keys. I sat for a half an hour & then suddenly one of the combinations worked. You can try the 'stop' key & the 'erase' key or the 'stop' key & the '-' (slash) key or any other two keys on the front. I have no guarantees that all your data will or will not be erased ! When I got the blinking 'chk' message on 11-4-08, I believe I pushed & held both the 'stop' & the '-' keys. Try ALL combinations of all the keys if those don't work. Don't give up !
