After a PC data recovery SONICSTAGE won't start

[bibitao]

Hi to everybody,

I got a WMe PC.

Days ago, for a system lock, I had to use The WMe data recovery, using in that way a 1 month old configuration.

Yesterday I tried to transfer audio files from my HiMD (last generation) to my PC: A SonicStage windows warned me that data were changed and that I had to recover them clicking on the button of the shown SS window having Internet On.

I did it and after few seconds everything was done.

After, I re installed SONICSTAGE as advised by the previous windows and rebooted the pc.

With surprise, when now I try to launch SONICSTAGE, I can only see its main window for a while and then the progran ends itself.

Is there anyone that can help me? I'm not a PC newbie but a SONICSTAGE one!

I have some important files on a MD. Will I be able to transfer them on my PC after this trouble (or the changed configuration won't let me transfer these files anymore?)

Thanks in advance

1) Back up My Library if you can. It should be under Start/Programs/SonicStage/SonicStage Backup Tool, and it might work even if SonicStage is messed up.

2) Do a careful uninstall by these directions.

3) Reinstall SonicStage 3.2 or 3.3--no lower-numbered versions.

About those files on the MD: Have you uploaded them already before? If you haven't, then SonicStage should upload them easily.

If you have uploaded them before, there is a danger that SonicStage will delete them if you try to upload them a second time. Versions 3.2 and 3.3 no longer impose this limit, but just in case, for important files, spend $11.95 for Total Recorder and use Dex's Total Recorder method from this thread

And then, when you've played them back on the computer, try uploading them just for the hell of it.
