Hurn

Just can't seem to get to the bottom of this problem. Have been using this sony walkman and it's software with no problems for a few months now but today sonicstage won't detect the mp3 walkman anymore. The connection seems to be fine. Windows is detecting the player when I plug it in (get new hardware message) but I get nothing from sonicstage. changed from original 3.0 drivers to 3.4 but no change. Did a clean uninstall and reinstalled but no change. Turned firewall off but that didn't solve anything. Any ideas?
