Lambert Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 hi again...i just tried to use the "mdac_repair_c" application to get the SS43 database components repaired....if anybody has the same intentions... DON'T do that... the application crashes on Windows VISTA !!! i just donated senseless 5 euro to macropool ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kojak Williams Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Lambert, i am also getting the same error when running the restore tool. I have tried a complete removal and the cleaning out the registry and files left on the disk and then reinstall...same error. The thing is I had 4.2 installed and it was working. it was the upgrade to 4.3 where it went all wrong...and this versions is meant to support vista. I have it working on my tablet which is running vista. This I upgraded from 4.2 with no issues, which is why I done the PC straight after, but the outcome is not the same. I get the impression that the installation of SS software is never consistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 hi kevin and ceresit's really strange.... but it worked, when i switched to a different user account (thanx ceres)the way how SonicStage stores data and settings is really confusing...sony builds great hardware... (the sound of the NW706 is incredible good)... they should handover software development, to somebody who is able to do it ;-))greetings lambert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSP Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi guys,I know that SSC{ 4.3 is supposed to be fixed zo it would work on Vista? right?Weel, I've got a brand new laptop with Vista pre-installed on it. I installed SSCP 4.1 (wich came with my NW-S703FB and it workd smoothly so far...So what were the issues with SSCP 4.1 running on vista?I must say that Vista is annoying me since it needs to much from my PC so that I can't get the full potenial of My PC.Therefore I dualbooted Vista so that I can use them both. And on winXP my PC is really racing!!!!Vista is just too heavy, It's not fun anymore and its not practical to use...greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kojak Williams Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 no joy for me. Still getting the errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswyatt Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Try uninstalling Sonicstage, remove as much as you can and also go to (assuming your drive is C) C:\Documents and Settings\ and looking for any Sonicstage related stuff in here. There's some stuff in All Users and in your User folder, this'll be where database related files are stored. Sorry this isn't very specific but I don't have access to my Sonicstage installation right now.p.s. Remember to check the option to Show Hidden Files and Folders in Folder Options. And be careful in here. Edited March 21, 2007 by chriswyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
