Yet another SonicStage installation issue

[fastpuma]

hi all, i have got a sony nw507 and i had sonicstage version 3.0 installed and now the program is corrupted, i have tried to uninstall the program and install the new version, but its not letting me unistall it from the controll panel. i have tried installing the new version and hoping it would unistall the previous program, but it getting halfway then the set-up is terminated, now i cant use sonicstage to transfer my songs onto my pm3 player, i also have a omg jukebox program that i used to use for my sony md player, but that is not working as well, any suggestions? maybe there is a program that i can download to remove the sonicstage and omg jukebox completly? thanks in advance, i hope i dont have to format my laptop.

I think u need to delete some registries here to install a fresh copy of Sonic stage

First type regedit in RUN

THEN GO TO HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Corporation

Delete "sony corporation" key only .But remember not to delete any other regestry keys

except for that otherwise ur windows will crash & it will not

start again .Then try to install ss ver 3.0 again

OR....

Go to wondows xp restore mode & restore ur computer when sonic stage was not installed on ur computer.......

If ur r not able to understand any direction pl feel free to ask........

thanks very much stuge, you been a real help to me, could you give me some tips on how to do a system restore? do i need a disc for that? or can i just download it from somewhere, thanks in advance,

No, U don`t need any cd or anything for System restore .Its a inbuilt utility in windows xp .

Directions.

1.Click on start menu

2.Then "all programs"

3.then go to "Accessories" {new menu will appear}

4.Then click on "System Tools" & at last click on "System Restore" icon

....Follow the on screen instructions then .

The only problem is if his system restore is turned off, it usually isn't since it is set to on when you install windows.

I would first try deleting the sony reg entries, would be a faster alternative. delete it, reboot and try to reinstall SS3.2 or above. if that doesn't work, try the restore option, if that fails, format your pc, just kidding. But if that options fails, there is slight chance your might have a virus or something, but then again it might not.

you can find hte complete file for SS3.3 on the minidisc.org forums.

thanks for your sound advice guys, i have just deleted the reg entries, and it worked just fine, now i have installed sonicstage ver 3.3 and the only problem is that i have to format my sony n505 player to transfer songs onto the device, which i find is a lot of hard work, due to the fact that it be time consuming to transfer all those songs back onto the mp3 player, could you tell me how to remove my OMG JUKEBOX program? i dont use it any more, it was for my sony mini disc player, its not letting me remove it from the add/remove programs, thanks again for your time and great advice.

leave the openmg but there sonicstage uses them too - in fact you can use your old netmd with ss3.3
