PC not recognising RH1 - 64bit drivers are installed.

[McCol]

Hi all.

Was using my RH1 over the last few weeks with no problems. Now though when I connect to 2 different pc's they will not recognise the RH1. Drivers are installed on both systems.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

To start with - you can't connect it to more than one at once.

So better begin with one problem and solve one problem at a time.

If you can keep going back to the machine that works that would be a help. Were the "new" machines actually newer or older than the one you had/have working?

In addition, you realise that no drivers are needed for HiMD disks? Does that much at least work?

There has to be a disk in the machine OR you have to have set the "Disc mode" to NetMD if you want to install the drivers.

Finally, are all these versions of Windows the same (eg Pro, Ultimate, Home Premium)? If you inadvertently installed in the "XP box" you may have all sorts of weird timing problems. Shouldn't need to.

The biggest issue is likely to be that somehow the 4.3 Sonicstage package copied 32-bit drivers on to the machine. Even though those are essentially useless to you in 64- bit windows. Either you have to get rid of them, or at least update to the 64-bit driver.

So, keep the questions coming, ONE AT A TIME. We can't help with "2 different PC's".

Thanks for the reply.

I think I've sorted it.

I won't into device manager and assigned the driver manually. Seems to have solved the problem. Laptop now recognising the player and discs again.

Good work. Welcome back!
