stewartb Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Good suggestion...except I've tried that as well with the same result. The thing is, the older version of OpenMG Secure Module that gets installed with SS 2.x apparently cannot be used with SS 3.1 so that gets uninstalled as part of the upgrade to 3.1. All I can think of now is to rebuild my PC from scratch but I really don't want to do that, that will take days.←Not much to add here but I am having the same problems My installation process gets to the point where Drivers are being installed and then terminates by itself. However, Sonicstage does seem to be installed on my PC but the Gracenote CCDB doesn't seem to work (and I'm not inputting all the CD info manually! ).My OS is Win XP SP2, PC is P4 2.2ghz with 768mb RAM and I'm using a CD-ROM. I have no problem installing an earlier version of SS I used (2.1) and when uninstalled everything dissappears from the Add/Remove list.Does anyone out there have any advice?

atrain Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 stewart please start a new thread on this. just to check have you gone into the tools->getcd info->cddb->register ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartb Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Sorry to not start a new thread but my issue was practically the same as the original poster's.As for the Gracenote problem (which is really an aside to the fact that Sonicstage doesn't install completely and is probably a symptom of the result of that), I have no options to select when I go to tools->getcd info.Whenever I try to select CD info from the Import screen I get a screen message telling me I need to register with Gracenote and when I click YES to the 'Register Now' option nothing happens.

Whenever I try to install Sonicstage 3.1 (either from the CD-ROM I got with my NW-HD5 or from the online install exe) it gets about two thirds of the way through before terminating by itself.My guess is the CDDB problem is just happening because the install doesn't complete properly.My original post was a reply to problem of a similar installation nature by another user and really is not specifically about CDDB...

atrain Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 have you read the stickies at the top of the software/support forum? uninstalling the software correctly including the registry may make a diference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 If you have a firewall, make sure that gracenote has the right permissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartb Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Thanks for the advice so far. I have uninstalled the software and all registry entries relating to Sony and OpenMG as described in other threads but this has not helped.Even with all this removed Sonicstage 3.1 still will not install. My problem is similar to the one in THIS THREAD (but my reply was moved to this new seperate topic for some reason...).This is really beginning to drive me mad now and I cannot use my NW-HD5 until I get this fixed. Hope someone out there can solve this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
