Can I blame it on Vista?

If I knew what information was the minimum nneded, this would be shorter.

Back-story. My MZ-NHF800 stopped working a couple of weeks ago, and since I like the radio part of it, I sent it to Sony for repair, even though I have other HiMD units.

I got it back, and it works fine in all regards except it will not play discs I made on my MZ-DH10P while waiting for the return of NHF. (Himd on a 1gb disc)

I called Sony, they said send it back with discs it will and will not play. Bothersome, but simple and reasonable enough.

Now, why I am struggling to remain calm.

To cover all the questions Sony asked, I was making a bunch of discs made on machine a or b and hi or lp etc. etc..

I had finished the first sample on the Sonic Stage, and had removed the disc from the unit (which meant that there was no signal going through the USB) and when I put in a new blank disc and put the unit on it's connection to power and USB and the computer, Windows told me that it cannot find the driver.

Searches it suggested got nowhere. I thought maybe I should re-install, but it looks like I'd have to uninstall and all that, but I don't want to unless really needed

(Yes, I re-booted a few times.)

(I recall a similar situation a few months ago, but it cleard itself up.)

The question I hope will solve the problem:

Where would SonicStage install have put the driver needed for NETMD & HIMD? And what's its name?

All other questions:

HELP!

This is a post-script to the message.

I just tried a few more things and found that Windows has not trouble finding the driver when I hook up the NHF, but still doesn't find driver for DH.

Grrrr!
