Hey guys, Sorry about that. I fixed this burning problem with Sonic Stage by downloading a pxengine file from the Sony website. Seems I had an old engine. Thanks, BTB

Hey guys, Thank you so much for your responses. Avrin, you were completely correct. Unfortunately though, I made a pretty bad mistake and did delete the Install Shield folder before I had a chance to read your message. I was able to restore it through the recycle bin though. However, I chose not to replace the files which Sonic Stage had freshly installed in the Install Shield folder. I haven't encountered a problem yet and my technician thinks it should be ok. I don't know. Perhaps you have other ideas. Sonic Stage works now but it still won't let me create an audio cd or indeed doesn't recognise the cdrw burning device at all like it recognises the walkman. However, it does recognise a music cd which I can import but just won't let me create anything. I'm also running IMGBurn, ITunes and Nero as burn engines and I'm thinking they may have put something out of place. I also edited the REGEDIT file and that may have done something. Personally, I don't like burning in SonicStage but my dad loves it. Thanks for your help again. It was much appreciated and I possibly look forward to hearing from you again. Regards, BTB

Re: Sony SonicStage 4.3 Install Problem Hello everybody, This is my second time on the forums so please excuse me if I've posted this in the wrong place. I'm currently having major problems with Sony Sonic Stage as it will not install. When I try to install either version 3.4 or 4.3, I get this message in a dialog box with a red cross: > An error (-5009 : 0x8002802b) has occurred while running the setup. Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications. If the error still occurs, please contact your vendor: Sony Corporation. < Then the installation closes. This is what I've tried doing without success: * Installing in safe mode * Installing to a different directory * Manually removing the Sony Sonic Stage directory and the Sony Shared directory and then reinstalling. By this I mean deleting them. * Uninstalled the Open Module information in control panel as well as the patch. * Removed Sonic Stage using another uninstall program after windows uninstall failed. * Tried to install 3.4, 4.3 full versions; and a 4.3 upgrade version. I'm currently using Windows Vista Home Premium and have 2GB of RAM with a 1.8 GHZ Processor. There's eight gig free on the hard disk. I'm logged on as an Administrator when installing. Sent the computer to my technician and he had no luck either. He's no mug with computers but he thinks it would take a highly skilled computer user to fix this problem. I also contacted Sony and they made the same suggestions as above and are now referring it back to their software engineers. A thought I had was it may be something to do with the registries. Please note this has worked on this computer before and I've only tried to remove it as I've had to reinstall several burning programs after modifying the 'REGEDIT' in Vista so that the CD / DVD Drive would be recognised. Interestingly, the same error message appeared when I tried to uninstall the software too. I could only uninstall Sonic Stage through another uninstall program. I also know that Snoci Stage 3.4 won't work in Vista but I was trying to at least install it to see if I could get 4.3 working as the full version of 4.3 didn't work. Thanks for taking the time to read this problem. I'm quite disappointment with the hassles I'm having as I bought a walkman about a year ago for my dad and he's been using Sonic Stage ever since. Well, until this problem. Thanks again and I possibly look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards,
