allewedertje Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Last week I upgraded my SS 2.1 to the new 3.1 version, only to find out that once installed, my HiMD-recorder is still working, but my Network Walkman NW-E405 is not. I got the message that it needs to be initialized. I looked in the SSHelp, but once arrived at the TRANSFER screen, the right side of that screen is not active.So I deleted the SS 3.1 and installed SS 3.0, from the cd-rom that came with my NW-E405. But the same thing here : I need to get my NW-E405 initialized before I can use it, but cannot because I cannot follow the steps as explained in the SSHelp : the right side of the TRANSFER screen is still not active.When connected to my pc by USB, the SS recognizes my Network Walkman, it even shows how much storage space is left, but it is not working !Can anybody help me out here please ???

allewedertje Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I have done that, but the problems still exists : the right half of the TRANSFER screen is still not active when my NW-E405 is connected to my pc, so I cannot apply the steps to initialize as mentioned in the SS HELP.When I click the TRANSFER button, I can select the NW-E405 (which is recognized as ATRAC Audio Device (E) ), but when I try to click on it, an error message appears, telling me that "the connected ATRAC Audio Device must be initialized to be used with the currently installed SonicStage".Strange thing though is that I have the same problem when I install the SS 3.0 from the cd-rom that came with the NW-E405 !!!! My guess is that with the first installation of the SS 3.1, some file or patch stuck to my pc and is now preventing my NW-E405 to work .....Any ideas how to make it work ????

ukbadge Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I still have problems initializing my SS3, but there seems to be a solution but you need the 'end-it-all' programme .What you have to do is 'kill' the following:omgjbox.exessaad.exessdbconnection.exessscsisv.exe.Then in your SonicStage folder (windows explorer) double-click on omg1t2. Then when that has finished (might say something about DB already converted) log out (or reboot). It will now work.If the same thing happens just repeat the above steps. I can guarantee that it will work.Oops, sorry !WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, incl SP 2INTEL PENTIUM 1,50 GH480 MB RAMUSB 2.0SS 3.1← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uri75 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Holly crap, this actually works! I was a bit sceptic, but hey, Windows is a very strange beast, so I gave it go and it worked exactly as you said.I almost gave up on 3.1, so thanx a lot for this workaround/solution!
