Not working

[Firemech]

Having problems recording from a CDG disk in the CDRW drive to the hard drive using either the custom assembly or import tabs.

The graphics come in as garbled text, however the sound comes through fine.

I can play the cdg disc in the CDRW drive and the graphics are fine. I have created a CDG file with Home producer on the hard drive, and played it with the play tab in microstudio and it played fine.

I have tried 2 different cd drives. HP9700i and yamaha CRW2100E. I have a AMD athlon 1800+, 512 ram, sound blaster live, ATI radeon video card, 20 GIG hard drive with pleanty of space left on it.

I would think that if it was the CDRW drive it would not let me play the tracks at all.

Can someone please help

Step One:
Check your cdr's and see if they are supported by Microstudio, here is the link to supported burners:

http://www.mtu.com/support/cdr-ide-drives.htm

If your burners are supported, and I did not see them on the list, the next step is to go to the ASPI drivers post and follow the directions for installing the MTU drivers you will need. Here is the link to the drivers:

Forgot to mention that i had already updated my drivers from MTU.

Neither of the drives are on the list. But i have created a CDG disk from CDG files made with Home producer and they work fine.

I don't see your two CD-RW's as being supported by MTU Programs or CDRWin (Goldenhawk).

HP 9700i Product Spec's Link:

http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/documen...cName=lpg40181

It appears, according to Prod. Specs. will do CDG.

I think you should contact MTU to get either "Yes" or "No" if their program is supported by your two CD-RW's. (If they added support for the 9700i in their program)

Also go the HP's Site and look for any Firmware Updates for the 9700i.

Per "Jim in Ohio" get and use MTU ASPI Drivers and then retry, the MTU program.

FEWER AND FEWER CD-RW'S ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY CDG FORMAT. WHEN YOU PURCHASE SOFTWARE, ALWAYS READ THE PRODUCTS SPECIFICATIONS TO SEE IF IT WORKS WITH A PARTICULAR CD-RW.

P.S. YOU MIGHT TRY THIS TO SEE IF YOU ELIMINATE "DRIVER" CONFLICT, SEE BELOW:

Another cause could be a real-mode (DOS) driver loading in the Config.sys file. The following procedure will help you disable a possible incompatible driver.

To edit the Config.sys file: (Microsoft(R) Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and XP)

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type sysedit and then click OK.

3. Type REM at the beginning of any line(s) in the CONFIG.SYS file which include the statement "device=" or "devicehigh=" and loads any CD-ROM drivers

For example,
device=cdrom.sys

should be changed to

REM device=cdrom.sys.

This will disable any potentially conflicting drivers from controlling the CD-ROM or
HP DVD/CD Writer drive.

4. If DOS drivers were loading, remember to save the REM changes you have made to the
file by clicking File, then clicking Save).

5. Shut down the computer normally, turn the computer power off, reconnect the HP
DVD/CD Writer drive, and restart the computer normally.

IF THIS DOENS'T WORK, JUST GO BACK AND DELETE THE "REM", SAVE AND RE-BOOT.
