Click OK to recover the database. Click Cancel to exit the program." so i click ok. "Cannot recover the database file. Click OK to copy an empty database file. Click Cancel to exit the program." so i click ok again. and nothing happens. it closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hm. We've been over this before, so please try searching in the future. I will help you, regardless. Try downloading this first: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results...&DisplayLang=en The one relevant to your O/S, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichM Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 It's not a fault with SonicStage or any Sony software. It's actually a missing Windows file (a DLL to be precise) relating to the Jet Database Engine included in Windows and used by programs such as SonicStage. I was pulling my hair out for about 3 or 4 weeks trying to find this fault. I ultimately used the profiling in the 'Dependency Walker' program included with the Windows XP support tools. I do not recall which file it was but there are a number of DLLs usually beginning with "MS" with "JET" in there somewhere in the 'System32' directory and it was one of these that was missing. Oddly WFP never even noticed. If you use the application profiling in 'Dependency Walker' it will highlight the files that are missing. The support tools I mentioned are usually included on the Windows XP CD and the program you're looking for is called 'depends.exe'. I hope this helps.

sirpilf Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 its not on the cd. and i cant find depends.exe on my computer. or anywhere arg. isnt it just a file you can send to me haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichM Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 If the file was at fault it would be missing, if you get my drift. There's a number of files in System32 that relate to Jet which appear in a cluster in file listing of that directory. These are the ones I can see: msjdbc10.dll msjet40.dll msjetoledb40.dll msjint40.dll msjter40.dll msjtes40.dll msjter40.dll is the one I was missing I think, but it might different for you. Also there might be other files. Anyway I'll try to point you towards depends.exe. I have a Windows XP Professional retail upgrade CD, and I can find depends.exe in Support.cab in d:supporttools where d: is the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive letter. It's about 600k plus a 125k help file.

dex Otaku Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 What I'd suggest doing is running windows update. If you are running XP without SP1 or SP2 installed, and have never installed JET or DAC [or is it ADC?] [data access components] then you'll likely be having trouble running anything that depends on thigs like access databases [which SonicStage does]. These updates are stated in SonicStage's install requirements. Update your windows. Things are likely to start working when you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuvudah Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I have windows xp and just installed sonicstage 1.5. from the cd-rom is it really absolutely necessary to uninstall 1.5 & download the 2.x ?To be able to download audio from the web/Pc ? hassle free? Is 1.5 plagued with bugs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I haven't used 1.5 so I can't attest to this myself, but consensus among other users I've heard opinions from was that SS 1.5 is terrible compared to 2.x. Unless you have a really good reason to stick with 1.5, I'd suggest upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichM Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 If anybody is having trouble starting SonicStage (or anything else for that matter) and you suspect it to be because of a missing file. I recommend giving Microsoft's 'Dependency Walker' a shot, which I mentioned in previous post. You'll find the executable at this site: http://www.dependencywalker.com/ Edit: May be a little overawing for some initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infrablade Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 RichM, thank you in the most serious way for pointing those of us having SS probs to the D Walker, I Absolutely HATED SonicStage until today, when I read your post. Turns out that all this time, one freakin dll (msdart version 2.71.9030.0) would not update or go away no matter how many times I ran DAO, MSJet or MDAC_TYP. I simply deleted the msdart.dll, and now SonicStage opens with no error. You just saved the lives of all the SonicStage software developers :rasp: THanks Mann!!!!

RichM Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I'm glad it helped. It only takes one file it prevent SonicStage from working, I learned this the hard way also. I suspect 'System Restore' had a hand in my strife since I had installed updated DAO components after a restore point, and when I restored back to that point it must not have restored all the older component files. I've had other files go missing because of 'System Restore' so I now never use 'System Restore', unplumbing installed software using backed up registry hives as references is far more predictable if it is more hard work.

Nuvudah Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I've got Sonicstage to download coasttocoast am talk radio files to MD only to not have editing capabilities for each 45 min block/track. Is there anyway to add marks & delete after transfering to MD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 No. You should be able to do in in the SonicStage library, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuvudah Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Is there any way to transfer analog recorded tracks on the MD to the Library ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
