Cornholio Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hello,Last week, I bought a new MZ-NH700. It was supplied with the SonicStage v2.0 CD, which claims to be compatible with Windows 98 SE. However, when I attempt to install the software on my Windows 98 SE machine, it reports that my OS is not supported.I’ve visited the Sony website, but have been unable to find a customer service page. Could anyone here please advise?In fairness to Sony, they do state that the software is only supported on ‘factory installed’ operating systems. My PC is home made, but the OS is a kosher Microsoft product.Any advice would be very gratefully received. One of my reasons for buying the MZ-NH700 as a supplement to my trusty MZ-R70 was it’s abililty to digitally transfer recordings made from a microphone to my computer, so I’m quite narked at the moment .Cheers!

Christopher Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Welcome!Go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and make sure you have all of your windows updates, and then install Sonicstage 3.1 from connect.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDnewuser Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 SonicStage should work on Windows98SE, mine does and i also own a MZ-NH700, but it works bad and crashes a lot (all versions i have tried). I really tried everything but i cant get the program to work properly :-(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornholio Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well, it took a while but I've got it sorted. Sadly, upgrading to SonicStage 3.1 wasn't really an option as I have a dial-up connection. However, Sony customer service were able to help.Should anyone else have the same issue, the solution is:1. Copy the SonicStage CD to hard drive2. Change the following line in setup.ini supportos=0x78 to supportos=3. Run setup.exe from hard driveHooray! I can copy my analogue recordings to hard disk. Now, about all this DRM stuff. Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hmmm... maybe we can ask Sony customer support about ditching DRM too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMBUSTERS Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 odd how that would fix the problemLet me ask you this: was it a windows 98Se update or fresh install? Like did you have a previous version of windows on the computer (including 98 first/gold edition)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
