Alright, I got a 4gb iRiver Clix about two days ago. It's great, I love the interface and music/video playback. HOWEVER, all of the pictures I upload on to it, whether it's syncing them through WMP11 or copying directly through Windows Explorer, are completely screwed up.

The picture is all...pixelated, I guess you would call it. It just turns into a bunch of coloured squares, with a few tiny sections where you can JUST see the original image. I've tried a bunch of things, looked on several forums, resized the images prior to uploading them (despite the fact that I apparently shouldn't have to), formatted the drive more times than I can count, reinstalled WMP11 twice and tried to update the firmware from 2.0.

Although this yielded a new problem: The latest auto updater said it couldn't find a certain 'file', with a very long name, and refused to acknowledge my Clix's existance! I then tried an earlier version, but it said that I already had the latest firmware, which I find hard to believe.

Anyway, sorry for the long winded complaining, but I'd really like to know whether I should just return this thing and ask for a new one, because even though it plays other things fine, I really don't want a defective mp3 player. It could be a sign of things to come...

What is the size of your picture?

Your firmware is the latest, no need to update.

Ah, thanks, that's good to know about the firmware.

I've tried with various sized images. Album covers, wallpapers, and I've also used editing programs to resize them to 320x240 pixels, which I heard was the right size. All of them do the exact same thing.
