Vista Service Pack 2

[ddouglass]

Have you tried just opening Microstudio again after it is closed with the error message? It should try again to rebuild the list and will probably complete it the second time.
I have this problem with one computer using XP and it will error out on songs the first time just as yours (without the crash though) and when I close and re-open MS it rebuilds that list with no errors automatically.

I tried as you suggested but this did not work either. When i re-opened microstudio it did not start rebuilding so i hit refresh and it went through the full processing as before then a window pops up saying some errors found

succcess count 56018
Failed count 8730
some files could not be added to the my songs list
if you would like to view the list of these files
click anywhere in the bubble
all of the kma files in this error list play fine in hoster but are not being processed by microstudio
this did not occur until after I installed vista SP 2
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling microstudio 2 more times with the same results.

James, check and make sure Vista didn't turn the UAC back on. Also check a couple of those files and make sure they are not Read Only.
You might want to go through the Vista settings list for Hoster to see if it changed or reset anything else too.

Hi Dale I checked all the setting and they are correct but this is what I discovered
I don't think its a vista problem afterall
When all of the 8000 kma files which came up as file errors in microstudio are selected in Hoster, they come up under the "type column" listed as "CDCDG" and all of the files which did come up in microstudio without a problem are listed in the "type column" of Hoster as "HDMP3G" could this be a glitch in the Microstudios 4.20 codes for building the my songs list?

[ddouglass]

No, because 99% of my files are CDCDG and they show in Microstudio 4.20 just fine.

Hi dale just to continue our discussion on this
I took a group of the kma files which would not import into microstudio 4.2 and imported them into songverter and then converted them from kma to mp3+g. I then reimported them into Hoster now listed as type "hdmp3g" instead of "cdcdg" and then took these reimported kma files and tried again importing them into microstudio 4.2 and they all were recognized with no problem. I then uninstalled microstudio 4.2 and reinstalled microstudio 4.006 and tried this. All of my kma files imported into microstudio 4.006 with no problem including the 8,000 files which microstudio 4.2 reported as errors. There is definately something to do with microstudio 4.2 which is causing this problem since microstudio 4.006 imported all of them with no errors without having to convert there original type from "cdcdg' to "hdmp3g"

But I am saying almost all of my files are CDG (CDCDG) and they all show in the list. Microstudio does not actually import them, but just creates a list of the files in the folder.
This did not happen on your computer until after installing Vista's SP2, so how can you say it has to be the program. Also you are the only one so far having this problem.
I don't have Vista but I am sure it has to do with something changed or loaded by that service pack.
