Descent Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Non-U.S. Access It appears that your computer is currently accessing Connect from outside the United States. Due to licensing restrictions, music on Connect is not available for download from outside the United States. ^That's the error I get.I live outside of the U.S, and cannot connect to register/autheticate my computer with Sony connect. What has happened is that I had to format my computer, and once that was done I could no longer play back recoded files I had backed up onto my 'non-operating system' hard drive which 'oviously' didn't have Windows XP installed. I have been looking for a remedy to this for months. I keep sending e-mails to Sony but they never reply. I have recently found out that I needed to register my computer to Sony Connect for those files to work. For years I have formatted my computer quite regularly to keep it running at best speeds or whenever a virus got into it. Does this mean that I can no longer format my computer? also, when trying to connect to get authorisation on my computer it won't allow me to because I live outside the U.S. How can I play back the recordings I made before I formatted my computer? I want to be able to freely format my computer to keep it safe, as well as to be able to play back the recordings I make.If anyone has any suggesttions, please share : )Thanks kindly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daremo Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Try changeing your language / region options in Windows XP. Go to the control panel and select "Regional and Language" option. From there set your Standards and Formats to English (United States) and then go to the Advanced tab and change the language for non uni-Unicode programs to English (United States). I had to do this to install and register for connect on my Japanese windows XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latexxx Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Try to use a US based proxy server. A list: http://www.aliveproxy.com/proxy-list/proxi...nited_States-us Put a proper server into your internet settings (control panel).

Descent Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I try setting that up but my networking setup is a bit complicated here.. wish there was a simpler way. I really need to access those files. I tried converting them too, but it will only convert files that were copied to the computer after it was formatted.

Christopher Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Where do you live, Descent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descent Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 In New Zealand.See, if I lived in the U.S I think I would not have a problem because I would be able to re-autheticate a computer up to 5 times.. That is what they allow you. But yeah.. I can't use Connect because I'm in New Zealalnd, and that might be the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
