Reinstall Sonicstage Question

[mumonzan]

history:

- satisfy user of Sharp 821 and Sony R90 for over 5 years

- bought MZ-NH600D 2 weeks ago

- using SonicStage 3.0 for over a week with no problems

- have to reinstall windows from ghost because of some dauther's game problems (no SS info in Ghost)

- install SS 3.1 after Windows reinstall

- download CD collection with no problem (and upload to MD without any problem)

- discover unability to upload any mp3 to MD (Omgjbox.exe exeption window)

- uninstall ffdshow codecs from my comp

- no change after restart - Omgjbox.exe exeption window

Win2000 Professional only (I don't accept XP:) I'll never use XP, waiting for another round:)

I'm considering total reinstall of SonyShit.

And here is my question:

Does reinstalling of SS breakdown my CD database? I don't like to spend additional 10 hours to re-read my CD's. I made backup through SS.

Can I reinstall SS and recover my database??

That's the question I can't find answer in this forum.

BTW

I've read a lot about how buggy is SonyShit, but I couldn't belive. Now I belive:))

Couldn't they create some personal ID? To recover all database info after reinstall?

Don't say you doesn't reinstall your MSshit every year, it seems impossible to me, unless you doesn't use it at all.

thanks for help

can you open sonicstage at all? you will need to run the sonicstage update wizard. if none of that's working try running omgbkup.exe in your sonicstage folder.

the obvious answer is that you need to run the backup tool to maitain rights to the library if you reinstall/reformat.
