it was to the straight forward bit i was "nooooooo" ing at....... dont buy a mugme pod....they so common ;-)

Ummmmm.....No....rofl

I've only got a little NWE507.is it worth downing ss4?????......I have only just sorted out a problem that prevented me from using 3.4 and am tempted to leave it at that

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO I fixed it, used my recovery disc to fix XP had to reload service pack2, ran all the way to the sony website and downloaded SS3.4, waited...........and waited,walked the dog then got the nerve to try and open it. ................... now I'm a happy bunny again, all I gotta do is re rip all my cds............and Amazon are replacing my thread bare MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia Headphones , only one thing could have improved this weekend.............. a good?????? oh and cmon CHELTENHAM TOWN.........play off finals next weekend forgot to show my appreciation to Stuge and JSP, its good to now people are out there ready to help a techno amatuer

I'm thinking of doing a totall system restore this weekend, wiping everything and reloading it, does this sound like a good idea? Does anyone think it will sort my problem?

it wont take long mate...........mine lasted 3months, still the copper wires look cool and they still sound great... I now use a cheap sturdy pair when out on my bike.......lookin forward to the new earbuds comin out soon Sony MDR-EX90SL.........they look great and from what I have seen on here they sound great too

I have tried reloading older versions of sonicstage but they all appear with the same problen JSP, as for working on other pc it seems some people on here have not got a problem, or do but its a different one, my love for sony hasent totally vanished.....yet ..........only a week or two to see if ss4 sorts out the problem......I started on ss3 and upgraded a couple of times then 3.4 seems to have caused a conflict somewhere, I've poked about all over the regkeys and other places I would normally be to scared to look (bet I've buggered something else up ) cheers Stuge, looking forward to the new ear buds- hope the cable casing is a little studier though.....my last sony ones disintergrated after 3 months, still work great , though the bare copper wires are a pain

so am I going to be able to use ss4 as 3.4 doesnt work???? will it be ready before sony europe get back to me with a solution???? Am I going to have to return my player and buy an ...........urrrrrgggghhhhhhhh..... Ipod...... brrrrrrrrrrrrr

no joy Stuge, this was part of what I had to do when sony support tried, also couldnt use that link -asked for password but wouldn accept it, so I went the long way round.....it came up with the same omgjbox.exe problem.....is the mfc71.dll a factor...I noticed this is impossible to delete even going into cmd

oops...I just started a new thread with the very same problem.......have removed ,installed , messed around in regedit and always get the same omgjbox problem I fixed this problem by using my windows recovery disk and doing the mend it thingy (thats the technical genious in me comin out there ;-) )

Hi, I was using sonicstage 3.sumthing when I noticed 3.4 with all its smart extras, so thought I'd upgrade and carry on using a system that others had knocked but I found quite good(maybe because my NWE507 is my first digital player) ever since I have been unable to use sonic, I keep getting " omgjbox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" with this when the details are shown. Appname: omgjbox.exe AppVer: 3.4.1.13062 Modname:mfc71.d11 ModVer: 7.10.3077.0 Offset:00031560 my system details are MS Win XP home ed. ver202 with service pack2 AriesPC AMD Sempron 2600+ 1.83 GHz,256mb RAM I been in touch with Sony Support UK who gave me 3 pages of instructions which I followed with no success, I was told it was being escalated to Sony Europe and have heard nothing for 2 weeks, I bought an external disk drive thinking I could load the software to that and use it (I'm only an amatuer techno user) ...... my mate bought a similar unit on my recommendation and used my pc to update and now niether of us can.... I have seen on other forums where people have rebooted thier pc to get over this problem,am I going to have to do this and re-install everything ???? hope someone can help Gaz
