Jeremiah 123 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I just bought an Acer notebook running windows 7 starter. I have downloaded a Sony application called Sonic Stage 4.3 to the desktop. I have also downloaded the driver. This application allows/mediates Atrac3 files to be downloaded to the computer from my mini disk MZ-NHF800 walkman. Sonic Stage allows these files to be opened. When I click the "install now" icon the installer extracts the files but does not finish installing: a message saying "Data was unable to be retrieved from the server. Please check your internet connections and try again. (21000)". My internet connection takes me to other websites with no problem. Sometimes Internet Explorer will quit when I try to download a file from a blog. With commercial/professional websites I am able to download files. Sonic Stage downloaded to my previous notebook with Windows XP Home Edition with no problem. Can it be that some type of security software in windows 7 starter is preventing Sonic Stage from installing and causing some downloads to not go through? If not, what might be the problem? Is there any other way to open Atrac3 files without Sonic Stage? Can Atract3 files be converted to .mp3 with an application? If so, where would I find it? Any info appreciated. --- Jeremiah123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 You need the version from this site. Is that what you used? You will probably need a driver, also from here. I've never heard of "Starter" - is that different from Home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah 123 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Windows 7 "starter" apparently just means that it doesn't include all the applications that a complete Windows 7 would include. A "slimmed down version" probably sold for less and that would cost to download applications that are not there if you want/need them. That way Microsoft gets it's money back from selling the slimmed down version at lower cost. I will try to locate on this website the downloads for Sonic Stage and drivers.

bhvara Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi sfbp, I downloaded Sonic Stage 4.3 from this site and have the same probs as Jeremiah 123 above. Would you mind replying with name of specific driver I also need to download please? Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Did you look under downloads? In the drivers section? The only pinned item? Hard to miss..... Anyway here it is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhvara Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Many (tardy) thanks sfbt, Sonic Stage is now running - still a mystery how as my computer is 32 bit and I put downloaded driver to desktop (I didn't know where else to put it!)... But I am able to import and transfer MP3 to Walkman so I'm very happy Cheers, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 You may well want to get the 32-bit driver from the downloads sectionIt depends on your MD hardware. If you have more than one unit AND are uploading (from MD to PC) using the MZ-RH1, then this driver is for you.On 32-bit system the 64-bit one will not have been installed. That's why it didn't matter where you put it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
