It doesn't always come up with the error message. I can put it up and not use if for a few weeks, pull it out, charge battery and it works fine. But like the guy above, it makes this whiny noise right before the error message comes up. Once upon a time I did get a message that said to use a head cleaning tape. Where can I buy one of those? I just taped my daughter's 1st b-day and need to d/l to my computer to send to my dad and family far away. ~And it won't let me eject the tape!
