CONNECT Software issues with NW-A3000

[tazdevil]

Okay Boys and Girls,

Heres something to try if your having issues with the software and your NWA-3000.

I had originally installed all my stuff on my PC, which by the way was running like a charm. The connect software installed and updated to the latest and greatest. Imported all my mp3's by the way a few thousand of them, and it all went wrong from there. Called Sony tech support here in Canada, by the which are totally useless and couldnt offer ant reasonable help. Went to another computer in my home and tried it, same issues.

Get this though, i formated one system reinstalled everything including alll my games, reinstalled the connect software, imported my all my mp3's and it worked flawlessly. Did the same on the other machine I tried on earlier and it all works flawlessly there also.

Could be several reasons for this but I thing huge registries, which are all bloated out with invalid keys, severly trashed OS's, etc. If anyone one is brave enough would like them to try it if they are having issues with thier connect software.

Format your system, put it all back, and install to the new OS, its worked twice for me now. May help you all out.

Sounds like the mother of all last resorts that............. only re-installed my RAID array in August, no way i'm doing that again unless i REALLY have to.......... maybe someone from Sony tech support would like to come round and do it for me

try jv16powertools' registry cleaner it deletes a lot of old obsolete keys/directories etc. i should give that a run actually. maybe a defrag too

Note Before using any Registry Cleaner like " jv16powertools' .First back up your old registry

Use RegSupreme.. only once did a registry clean-up have an after-affect (Visual Studio.NEt would not start) so I simply restored the last registry clean and all worked well again.

I'd recommend RegSupreme.

I've never had a problem with jvpowertools and I rarely back up because I'm lazy. Perhaps I've just been lucky.
