Christopher Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Do this: How to properly reinstall NetMD: WARNING: If you use a Sony VAIO with preinstalled software provided by Sony or use other software developed by Sony, do not follow the procedure below. 1. Uninstall all OpenMG related software via the Add/Remove Programs control panel and reboot as necessary. This includes, but is not limited to, OpenMG 2.2, related 'Limited Patches' and the 'Secure Module', SonicStage 1.x/2.x, Simple Burner 1.x/2.x, and software by RealNetworks. Make sure that you unplug your unit before doing so. 2. If you run Windows XP/Windows 2000 Professional, proceed to delete the following directories: "Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataSony Corporation", "Program FilesCommon FilesSony Shared", "Program FilesSony". 3. Start -> Run -> regedit. The 'Registry Editor' utility should appear on your screen. Delete the references to OpenMG located under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSony Corporation' and 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareSony Corporation' by right-clicking on the entries. 4. Disabling any anti-virus software that is running in the background to free up some resources [if necessary]. Update your installation of Windows at Microsoft Windows Update (windowsupdate.microsoft.com). For Windows 2000 Professional users, you are recommended to upgrade to Service Pack 3 or later. Make sure that your unit is disconnected and install the latest build of SonicStage 2.x from Sony Connect/Sony Connect Europe. The drivers for Sony units will automaticaly be installed. (If you use a Panasonic or Sharp Hi-MD/NetMD unit, install your drivers before you install the actual software!) Restart if prompted to do so; if not, it is still recommended that you do so. Plug in your unit, and start SonicStage 2.x. ..so we can make sure it's not a software issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrix787 Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 ive done this and the same problem persists, im running windows xp with sp2 (final build, 2180), maybe its an incompatibility with sp2? the weird thing is that it ran fine with the rc2 build of it.... any other ideas?

Christopher Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Have you scanned for viruses and/or spyware? Go to housecall.trendmicro.com for a free online virus scan [i'm a cable ISP tech support, just hear me out], and download ad-aware [make sure you update it first before scanning] and assure that it's nothing of that nature.

matrix787 Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 thanks for the reply, im quite computer literate, this is on a clean install of windows xp slipstreamed with sp2, i use avg anti-virus and have scanned with adaware and spybot search & destroy. btw this never happened with sp1, so possibly a sp2 bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Possibly. I have SP2 as well but no longer employ a NetMD unit. I don't have a Hi-MD unit either. Not sure what to tell you, perhaps someone later who gets SP2 + uses Sonicstage II will be able to assist..or Sony will release a patch.
