Last week I upgraded my SS 2.1 to the new 3.1 version, only to find out that once installed, my HiMD-recorder is still working, but my Network Walkman NW-E405 is not. I got the message that it needs to be initialized. I looked in the SSHelp, but once arrived at the TRANSFER screen, the right side of that screen is not active. So I deleted the SS 3.1 and installed SS 3.0, from the cd-rom that came with my NW-E405. But the same thing here : I need to get my NW-E405 initialized before I can use it, but cannot because I cannot follow the steps as explained in the SSHelp : the right side of the TRANSFER screen is still not active. When connected to my pc by USB, the SS recognizes my Network Walkman, it even shows how much storage space is left, but it is not working ! Can anybody help me out here please ???
