Ok, here is my computer info:

Wins XP
312 MB RAM
Intel Celeron 800 Mhz
ATI Rage 128 Pro vid card
CDR HP 9100 series

I have MS v2.312 on disk, I installed it while using my onboard SiS video card, microstudio recognized my CDR. when I clicked on play all I would get is a black screen. My CDR wouldn't read the disk at all, none of its lights would come on. I read in teh forum that that version doesn't work with XP.

So I downloaded the demo for v 2.4 and switched video cards (now using the one listed above). I still get the same results, just a black screen and the CDR isn't working. I also bought a HP USB 8200 series and microstudio isn't even seeing that one.

Any advice would be GREAT

thanks

Lacey
