First Unreliability Of Ss 3.0

I have been happily using SS 3.0 to upload recordings until today. I uploaded a two-hour concert cut into 44 tracks--some seconds long, some 8-13 minutes long.

SonicStage just skipped over the longest one, a 13-minute song, but gave it a timestamp on the disc, which I assume means it would consider it uploaded. (Incidentally, there was no extra load or other unusual use of the computer--I had it running the Sonic Stage transfer unattended while I did some errands, not even a browser open.)

It's the SonicStage/soundcard recorder method for me for that track, which luckily is still on the disc.

I'm not doing the basic dumb things, Kurisu.

All the tracks were from the same concert recorded in Hi-SP on a Sony Neige 74-minute disc. No playback problems on the disc, including the affected track. Incidentally, it wasn't the longest track--only 6:57, when 8-minute tracks uploaded fine.

My usual background programs were running, which haven't been any trouble before. I deliberately did the upload while I wasn't using the computer for anything else. The only new background app is Peer Guardian, which blocks hostile IP addresses in P2P. Since no P2P apps were running, I don't see how this could affect SonicStage. If SS had been trying to do some sneaky internet connection, my firewall would have told me long ago.

Obviously I can try it without Peer Guardian, but it seems pretty far-fetched. Version 3.0 of a program shouldn't be such a prima donna.

The computer--Sony VAIO 1.6 GB, 512 MB RAM, Win XP Pro Service Pack 1--has two USB ports. My Extigy soundcard is plugged into one, as it has been forever.

I had just done a Spybot spyware scan, which showed only a stray Doubleclick cookie, and a TrendMicro Housecall virus scan today shows no problems.

Incidentally, I just had another SS 3.0 crash today. This time it stopped uploading halfway through track 11 of a 55-track recording (1GB Hi-MD disc, Hi-SP), timestamped the track, and offered a log entry of a whole lot of meaningless (to me) numbers. If you want a copy of the raw stack dumps from Dr. Watson, Kurisu, I can send them to you in a PM.

The MD is running on battery power, but it's a new battery fresh out of the pack, registering a fully charged. I've done this before too, with no incidents.

What version of DirectX do you have? [go to start, run, put in "dxdiag"]

What version of MDAC and JET do you have? [download this and it'll report it]

Is spybot the only anti-spyware you use?

p.s. Spare me the "I'm not doing the basic dumb things, Kurisu." - we know each other better than this. I'm just isolating variables.

DirectX is 9.0c. I think it was installed with SS. 3.0.

MDAC is 2.71.9030.0

Jet is 4.0.5218

I see that I could update them by a few decimal points, but I'm reluctant to mess with a stable system.

Ad-aware, newly updated, found another couple of IE cookies, probably from the TrendMicro scan since I use Firefox and it erases cookies on exit. You have another spyware program worth trying?

Ah, but what about that persistent aura of mystery?
