MZ-DH10P and sonicstage

[hogarth27]

Parenthetically, I wish I had seen the above message "MZ-DH10P and the CANNOT PLAY error" a month ago, which is before it was written, I know, but ... I might elaborate on my sad sad story at the end, but don't want to bore anyone who might have an answer to my other MZ_DH10P problem, which is this;

If I haven't been using SonicStage with the DH10p for a while, Vista or Windows or some cyber-creature tells me that it cannot identify the unit.

And it won't give me the chance to suggest where to look (as if I knew that.)

Two or three times in the past, after an ever-building feeling of frustration, if I go away maybe overnight and try again, it has worked. But that's not good enough.

Any ideas?

I also have and use a MZ-NHF800, which always works with Sonicstage.

I'll try to short in my sad story, but it began when I sent my suddenly non-working NHF800 to Sony for repairs. It came back, and all was fine, until I tried to play things made on my DH10P and the CANNOT PLAY warning came up. Because I hadn't seen the message above, I called and said that it doesn't work right, so send the 800 back for free, which I did, Of course they didn't find anything wrong, so I figured the problem must be in the DH10P. They said, send it in, and I did, and of course they didn't fnd anything wrong.

Here's the part that really gets me _ -

I included in the package a disc demonstrating the problem, and a detailed explanation of why I was sending it.

When I finally got it back today, their invoice described the problem thusly : MZNHF610 ONLY PLAYS LP AND LP4 CANNOT PLAY HIMD.

And of course I never mentioned those formats.

Enough. Good night, and thanks
