sorry, NO. as i allready wrote: i can access each usb-stick: the mp3-player too! and i can copy files on the mp3-player. so there can't be something wrong with the usb-modul. i returned the sony-mp3-player and got an apple shuffle. much less problems with that. if you like, i can do some other tests for the installation of sonicstage on a vmware workstation 5.0. cheers

vmware workstation emulates a graphics card: VMware SVGA II. the host of this vmware workstation has a ATI Saphhire Atlantis Radeon 9600 Pro, 128 DDR.

Grafic Card: VMware SVGA II (v. 10.10.0007) Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2800+ RAM: 256 MB DirectX 9.0c(4.09.0000.0904) and directX is working, which i tested by Dxdiag.exe

yes, i deleted every directory and registry entry by hand. both commands (regsvr32 /u GCCollection.dll ; regsvr32 /u cdsrc.ax) gave me a message like this: loadlibrary(CCollection) failed - modul was not found. then i installed SonicStage v3.2 by webinstaller. no upgrade from 3.x! but you know, by the wmware workstation i can get a very from any sony-software untouched windows. and i allready tried a very new installation of sonicstage 3.2 by the webinstaller. without success. and here i found some other hints which i tried: * the hint by the MDAC repair tool * the hint by "wmfdist.exe". without success! and this is true for me too: The "Omgjbox.exe has caused an error and must be closed by windows" comes up everytime at the exact point where the animation shows "loading UI components".

i tried it twice. no success. still the same error! by the way: while uninstalling i got an error Error 1905. Module c:\program files\shared files\sony share\AVLib\cdsrc.ax failed to unregister. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support personnal.

i posted this issue allready in this forum and the admin gave the advice to post in this forum. And i followed allready this FAQ. additional Information: When i start sonicstage i get an error box: Cannot initialize OpenMG CD Manager" when i cklick ok, i get the following error from windows: "Omgjbox.exe has encountered a problem and has to be shut down" Then i found in the internet this: MS KnowledgeBase Article I installed it, but i had no access! how to solve this problem?

i installed version 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 on windows 2000 in a vmware-machine, which was never touched by a previous version of sonicstage. so no uninstall is needed. when i want to start the program i get this error message "Cannot initialize OpenMG CD Manager" and i am forced to shut down the program. I have windows 2000 pro with service pack 4 on a vmware workstation 5.0. in this vmware i can access the NW-E103 as a memory stick. this means: i can copy files on it. I have a AMD Athlon 2800+, for wmware 256 MB RAM. USB 2.0. no USB devices during the installation process. i disabled my mcaffee 7.0 antivirus software. vmware-tools were still running. i don't want stop them for performance reason. in this workstation windows 2000 tells me that i have a NECVMWwar VMWare IDE CDR10. and I can access every CD. i installed allready ForceASPI v1.7 to have a aspi driver. but this does not solve the problem! I unplugged NW-E-103 and made a net-installation of SonicStage 3.2. i rebooted my workstation. then i installed simple burner 2.0.04.18080. then i started sonicstage and got the error message: "Cannot initialize OpenMG CD Manager". why i need a cdrom-drive for sonicstage? all what i want is uploading my mp3 to the NW-E-103! can anybody help me? or is there an other way to copy my mp3 on nw-e103, so that i can listen them there? thank you for any hint and help in advance!
