how do i see if i have ffdshow installed/how do i get rid of it? what i have done most recently -> i have recently reformated my computer, then immediatly went to installing sp2, then transferred my mp3's to the computer, and installed sonicstage 3.1, in that order. If i scan a folder for music, it closes or crashes, if i add multiple, or even a single file via drag and drop, it closes or crashes, if i try to import a multiple, or even a single file via the import menu, it closes or crashes. basicly, nothing has changed, way to go sony! And sonicstage is the only thing running, the only thing INSTALLED, on the computer. But sometimes i get lucky and can import a few songs. *edit*this just in. i tried setting the default mp3 player to ss and tried playing all my mp3's, that was a mistake, now everytime i run ss it immediatly crashes!! JUST as i figure i could only try to import the mp3s into the library as i wanted to put them on a md, i think the demons within ss sensed that i had figured a way to work around my problem so they decided to crap on my parade with an entirely new problem! This is getting ridiculous
