First of all, hello to everyone here! I have sonicstage 4.3 installed on my Vista O/S pc which loads up ok however crashes as soon as I plug my NW-A1000 walkman in via the USB connection. Now I appreciate it's not the most up to date walkman but it worked fine on my old PC using the connect software that came with it, then when it forced me to goto sonicstage it hasn't worked since despite the newer PC and most up to date version... Haven't been able to update my walkman for over a year now and nothing seems to work...! Am starting to pull my hair out as I don't want to have to buy another (non Sony!!!!!) MP3 player to listen to anything 'new' I throw myself on the mercy of this site to help me find a solution!!
