JayX Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 im getting major probs transferring to my MD atm.. im not sure if its the MD or the software tho (my player has a habit of turning itself off sometimes, and restarting where the last restart was..) its not been dropped or anything and its only 6 months old, im a bit peeved off to say the least. its been a while since these problems started, but i originally put it down to a dodgy windows install before. the only thing i've changed hardware wise is the soundcard, which MIGHT be linked, im not sure. problems are: SS2.0 (both icedteas build and the official release) will randomly crash after transferring one song (i think) from mp3 in LP2. the MD display will still say TOC EDIT and i'll have to pull the cord out. i'm sure i've had crashes with simple recorder too, but only after ss2.0 was installed im sure.. i dont use SS1.0 at all, as i hate the check in system. LP4 seemed to transfer across, but then it refused to refresh the display.. could be a one off on that tho, as i don't use LP4 much, i just did it as a test. the problem happened in normal and safe mode bootups. if i can help with screenshots or anything, please ask.. atm i can't use my MD except for the 4 or so MDs i have with songs on it, i dont have the optical cable as it got mixed up at my old house and was never found thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Try uninstalling via the directions in the NetMD faq [registry edits and all], and install Sonicstage 2 [the connect.com version]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayX Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 ok i'll give it another shot. i did install iced's build from a fresh install of windows mind (well, fresh to NetMD anyway, i've had it on a few weeks) so its not conflicting with any previous install is the soundcard used in any way at all, as im thinkin there MIGHT be a problem due to it, its only an old SB16 ISA...

Christopher Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 So, the program crashes [on the fresh install] after you try to transfer a song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayX Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 yep. i might try and uninstall it and run simple burner 1 (if i can find it) and see if the problem arises with that and the old style of xferring mp3s (im sure i didn't get crashes it just took longer hence my switch to SS2. it just says something like OMJGJUKEBOX has caused a fault etc etc, and usually one file has transferred with another 95% thru from memory. i think a screensnap will probably be the easiest way to show you what happens... i just seriously hope its not the MD player itself (already the remote got smashed (as in another thread) and i haven't told the parents (was a xmas present) so don't really wanna take it back :/ ) just my luck i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Yes, take a screencap for us. Don't actually display the image in a thread, just link it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayX Posted July 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 screencap i tried using LP2/LP4/SP and all 3 methods failed with the same error at the same point. i'll try installing the software on my parents hunk-a-junk and see if it works on that (altho its likely the software won't even load. its like that :/ ) thanks a lot of looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Try downloading one of these that is relevant to your O/S: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results...&DisplayLang=en If that doesn't work then make sure your windows is updated. windowsupdate.microsoft.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayX Posted July 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 still brings up the same prob, and i ran windows update recently i'll try installing simple burner 1 on here, and ss2.0 on my parents and see what the result is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayX Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 ss2.0 works fine on my parents box, so its definitely software related on mine. im fairly sure thats good news im still dubious about my soundcard (alas the onboard audio doesn't work properly, and never has done.. cheap ass vendor!) as the only probs i get with software tend to be audio related. i've taken off some bits of software that might be causing it, and i'll strip the registry of ss2.0 stuff and reinstall later, and fingers crossed 10 new blanks of MDs to fill with tunes heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayX Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 sigh, still absolutely no luck. nothing seems to work at all, every version of simple burner and ss i can find just crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.java Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Maybe its becouse Sonic Stage is made for a factory installed version of Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceeedtea Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Maybe its becouse Sonic Stage is made for a factory installed version of Windows?....which proves that Sony's computer division which works on SonicStage is full of crap. "Factory-installed" nothing. Please don't revive week-old threads unless you really have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 @.@ Do not run WinAmp or any other media player while running transferring songs to the MD. It causes problems. I don't know if it causes THIS problem, but it caused me problems. I could never listen to music while copying music to my MD unit. For me, WinAmp would crap out, not SonicStage, but try it. Try running SonicStage without any other processor- or memory-intensive programs running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
