I had a little 14 inch HP laptop that I bought from Best Buy. It developed a little problem and I took it in for warranty work. Without telling me ahead of time, they chose instead to replace this unit, saying it was not repairable. They will not give it back, but chose to upgrade this unit at their option... Well a little newer model with a bigger HD and twice the memory seems reasonable, or so I thought . It is almost identical to the one I had. I Just don't know about the Reader.
I took it home and before asking MTU for a reset, I downloaded Demo 3.319 and set up the machine.
smiling very happily as I prepare this new bit of hardware.
I brought up the Hoster main page and clicked on Add Track > CDG and proceeded to add a track to the list. All went well. It read it ( or seemed to) and added it to the song list.
When I click play, I get a black video screen for the normal 1 1/2 minutes (Demo Version) and a continuous soft popping in the audio.
When I go to Import tracks and the Import Track screen, all seems normal. There is an ID number assigned and the selected tracks import (or it says they are).
Now going back to the main Hoster page, the book ID numbers are all there for the tracks that were just imported. They can be selected and they add to the list very nicely.
When I go to play them, I get the same black screen and the soft audio popping for a minute and a half. Then it reverts to the Hoster main page like normal.
I did this with several different brands and the result was the same.
Question, is the CD drive just not reading anything, or is it not being found on the HD. The replacement machine is almost identical to the one they took from me.
When I put in a regular audio CD, it plays it nicely using Media Player.
This machine has dual display video features with Nvidia 7150M.
2GB ram
160 gb HD
Any ideas, Did I forget anything?
Thanks, Phil
