SonicStage Problem: OMGJBOX.EXE Issue

[herecomestheflood]

Alright. I'm new here, and after browsing the forums and searching, I didn't find anything that helped.

What I'm using:

Win XP Pro

Memorex Minidiscs

SS, SB, RP

My problem:

Sonicstage 2.0 doesn't import music without crashing (OMGJBOX.EXE crash).

Sonicstage 3.4 and up don't run at all on my computer.

MD Simple Burner 2 doesn't burn (it only crashes.)

RealPlayer won't detect my player.

What I've done:

Reinstalled everything with no avail.

Tried 3rd party software with no avail.

What the world should I do? Please help.

What are your system specs?

graphics card?

I think my graphics card is an Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV (if that's what you're looking for.)

As for system specs., I'm not too sure what you're looking for there either.

Errm, here's a stab in the dark:

116 GB HDD

DVD-Rom Drive

CD-Rom Drive

Floppy Disk

Wireless Router Linksys

USB Keyboard/Mouse

512MB Ram (I think.)

Boots Windows XP Professional

In connecting with a Mac by a KSwitch.

I did. Windows Update just makes my computer crash. But it should be fairly up to date (I installed XP Pro SP2 recently after a BSoD came up.)

EDIT.

I got the Minidisc to show up in Real Player v10. However, it crashes before even one song finishes. It gets to exactly 50% and dies.

I would think if Windows Update causes the computer to crash, you have more significant issues with the machine than SS. SS is notorious for being VERY picky; I would assume if something crucial was wrong with your computer, that there will be no way to make SS run properly.

With that said, be sure you have antivirus and antispyware apps, that they're up to date, and run a full system scan using both.

Unfortunately, you may find yourself reformatting and reinstalling to fix this problem...

UGH. I just tried it on my dad's computer, and now the problem is that the discs don't show up (but they do on my computer.)

Try running the MDAC Repair Tool from Downloads (top left corner of this page) on dad's computer.

I've got the same problem. Both with Connect and SonicStage. My system is:

P4 2,26 ghz

256 mb ram

40 gb hdd

intel on board 64 mb graphics card (and onboard sound card)

etc.

Why do Sony needs such silly softwares to load mp3s?

Someone jump in here for more info for the newbies posting, but WU uses flash I believe. I would suspect SS uses flash for somethings also, though I don't know.

I'm a little more comfortable tweaking my computer, but I would uninstall my flash player and then try WU so it can reinstall the needed flash player.
