i tried the demo on my test pc and on one of my laptops, on my pc i have 2 ext. cd/dvd drives, and my int. drive 2 of them tested bad ( int. and 1 ext) and the other one was good, did a retest same result,so i tried to import a song from the good drive ( test disc PHM0702-P) and i had to cancell after 5 minutes of trying to import the song ( progress bar barely moved ) removed and re-installed the demo still the same result. tried it on my laptop ,my int cd/dvd drive tested good , but still the same importing problem, opened my microstudio on my test pc, imported the disc and i was able to import the whole disc in less than 5 minutes..

Was this the 4.08 demo? If so, there seems to be a small issue with this one. If you had access to 3.4 on this machine, you could test and set the drives there, then just cancel when 4.08 asks. This is a work-around until MTU figures out a better way.

That's what I'm saying. It's unique to 4.08. If the drives work in 4.06 they will work in 4.08 full version with this work around.

I would bet that a registry change would fix it, but I'm not going to council anyone to do that.

That's what I'm saying. We now know that if you had hit cancel, it would have continued working.
