Yo, I tried the reeinstall again (after eliminating anything in the registry such as Sony, OMG, NetMD, Walkman,Falcon) but the problem persists.
But I remember reading sth. about the Windows Media Player 9 needed as a prerequiste. Do I need one for Sonic Stage?
Since the checksum seemed to be correct I assume another download will lead to the same results. So I'll wait until my NE410 comes and will install Sonic Stage 1.5 - until I get another PC.
Btw: If iceeedtea hadn't made that build, I probably would still listen to my old Sony DD2 Walkman :wacky: So no matter if I get SS2 running or not (on my PC) -it motivated me to buy a NetMD! I'll keep you guys informed about the progress
