Cannot See Hi-md

I have a MZ-NH600 and have just upgraded to Sonic Stage v3.1, using the download, MDCF version on this site. It all seemed to install ok until i plugged the Hi-MD in and Sonic Stage doesn't see the minidisc!

I am using my company works computer, as i don't have one at home so there are all sorts of firewalls preventing me from downloading Sony's version of Sonic Stage. I have Windows XP, and have downloaded the windows updates previously for v2.3, they all worked fine.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix, find the minidisc again, it is available in Explore as a removable device.

And yes I have looked at the pinned FAQ and followed the remove/retore to the letter and still no joy.

Please help!

Welcome to MDCF!

Two possible solutions:

1) Try installing the official version of SonicStage 3.1 instead. (look it up within the pinned threads) Some users with similar hardware detection problem managed to resolve their problem by re-installing with the official version.

2) Most of the time, hardware detection problem occurs because the Sony Personal Audio Driver module did not properly install. So, you may want to try re-installing it. To re-install the module, first go to Run --> type regedit --> delete this tree: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Corporation\Personal Audio Driver. Then install the Sony Personal Audio Driver module found in the download section of this forum. Finally reboot your PC.

If the problem still persist, try installing the official version of SonicStage 3.1. Good luck.

Thanks for the help, I had un-installed 3.1 and re-installed 2.3 but I gave it another go anyway, unfortunatley the same problem persists.

It is very annoying even after taking out the registries and re-installing it still won't recognise the player. I think it might be to do with the new feature of 3.1 where it opens on plug in, but with Sony it could be anything!!

Also due to using my work machine our websense blocks the pages that the Sony installer is looking at, i only got v2.3 because I harrassed Sony to send me a cd version. So getting the official release is also a no no!

Cheers anyway, i will keep looking for a solution, it seems that it's not just me suffering this problem.
