7thPeer Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hey Everyone, I have a 64-bit version of Vista and have been following the tutorial for how to get my MD player to work & have encountered an unusual problem. I hooked up my Hi-MD player and opened SonicStage and it worked fine. I swapped out the disc (The Hi-MD it came with) and put in a regular one and I got an error message (Something about formatting) . Anyway, all of a sudden, it doesn't see the MD unit anymore. I swap that one out for my older original one (MZ-NF810) and I get the "it doesn't recognize the MD player, please install the driver" message. I downloaded the 64-bit driver file here and it opened it up, only to have the computer tell me that "code 39" is missing and as a result, the application cannot be completed at this time. Can someone here please tell me A) if I did something incorrectly. 2) If not, what do I do now? Thanks, 7thP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thPeer Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 An addition here, the Hi-MD unit is an MZ-NH1 and when I connect it to the computer, I notice that the display shuts down, as well as the rest of the unit, nothing works. Nothing looks broken, so what else might it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Update the driver. Your NH1 switched to NetMD mode when u changed disks. No driver needed for HiMd but you prbly have "disc mode" set to NetMD. It then defaulted to this when no disk or blank disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thPeer Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I followed your instructions, but it won't allow me to update the driver, the option is still grayed-out. It asks me to go to device to allow the disk to be used, but when I go to that option, it too is grayed-out and won't allow me to click on it.

Ahhhh - are you trying to run this in XP virtual mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thPeer Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Are you referring to Windows XP? If so, no, I have a 64-bit version of Vista Professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Then you will have to explain exactly what you mean by the sentence I quoted. It really helps if you state what you are doing. Without that we cannot help you. I forgot about the Vista 64-bits.. sorry, very few people have ever tried that version, especially with NetMD, so it's an unknown combination. Right now I'd suggest upgrading to 7 before it's too late and you are forced to buy Windows 8. Not to solve this problem, but to survive. Sorry to sound tetchy but it's hard to do tech support... just as hard as it is to suffer what you are suffering. Step 1: set the disk mode (on the NH1) to "HiMD" and maybe the whole thing goes away until you need NetMD disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
