I was trying to use BD LIVE feature for the first time today adn I keep getting the message " disc player has not enough memory".

I tried two different brand's memory stick's one of the 4 GB, is there anything I am missing?

I can't think of anything obvious. As long as you have 1GB available on the USB memory stick, you should be fine. I think you should only get that error when there is insufficient storage on the drive or the drive is not recognized. But the really odd thing is that no one else has apparently ever posted this exact error message: "disc player has not enough memory" - is that the exact test of the error message? If not, I would Google the exact error message copy (with quotes) to see if anyone else has ever had this problem.

Are other things working over the network, specifically firmware update checks, Pandora and Netflix? Also, do you have BD-Live enabled in the set-up menu (Allow All)?

Also, what does the player say under "BD Data Management?" Does it recognize the drive? If so, how much available storage does it say that you have? The player only supports memory cards formatted in the FAT (File Allocation Table) file system (e.g., dos 8.2 volume labels). I believe this is the default for most USB flash memory drives, but if you've reformatted yours as NTFS in XP (or anything else other than FAT), this could be your problem.

If your USB drive is not FAT, then try reformatting it as FAT on your PC and try again. You can check the formatting in Windows by connecting the drive, then right-clicking on the drive letter and hitting "Properties." To reformat the USB flash drive, right click on the drive letter in Windows Explorer and select "Format" and format it as FAT32.

BTW, it would not be a good idea to do this to your C drive.

Let us know if that helps.
