Hi, I am new here. I have been with the minidisc thing since MZ-R50. My MZ-RH10 is my fifth recorder. I bought this a few months ago and at first things were working fine. Recording with the mic, uploading, putting CDs on disk, etc. I was using Sonic Stage 3.0, which was provided on CD when I bought it. Yesterday I noticed there is a 3.4 so I went to sony.com and downloaded and installed the updated. When I went to launch sonic state it did its thing for a second and then nothing. I double-clicked again. It did its thing for a bit and an error box popped up basically saying no go. I tried to reinstall it. I uninstalled and reinstalled both 3.4 AND the original 3.0 and neither work. Simple Burner works fine. I have written Sony and at this time uninstalled the entire thing from my computer. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. I am using a P4 2.8 Ghz PC running XP with service pack 2 installed. Like I was saying, 3.0 was working fine but the 3.4 update has ruined everything for me.
