importing cdgs to hoster

[Busy Digits]

I am using an Optiarc DVD RW-AD-717OA Drive from MTU. I typed Optiarc.com and got a server webpage.
My Graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

This is a Sony NEC drive so you will need to check NEC website support and look for that model to see if they have a newer firmware ( there should have been a number toward the end of the data like 1.05 (example).

Busy Digits.....I was looking for all the specs on your machine, but don't see them listed.....The reason is.. I'm having a very similar problem in microstudio which I posted in microstudio forum in Jan. and then revisited it Mar.13th after installing 4.000 .......would be interesting to compare machine specs. I have tried everything from updates to reformatting as well as installing a diffrent cd drive. No luck!!!!

I am starting to think there are too many services running on my computer. When I look at my system information- it shows 512k but generally 200k max available for use (I watched it fluctuate from 80k to 180k) running different programs. It went as low as 80k when I was on the Windows Update site and the site was scanning my computer.
Anyway, here's some stats:

Systemax 1700+ AMD
512 Ram
40 gig Hard Drive (main)
120 gig Backup and Media storage Drive
CD Rom drive (Stock)
Optiarc DVD RW-AD-717OA 1.02
NVIDIA GeForce 5200 Video Card
I have a card from Pinnicle Studios for capturing video installed but am not using it
Cable Modem
HP 722c Deskjet Printer
This computer is regularly used for internet use and has Avast Antivirus, Zone Alarm and AD-Aware running. I tried using MSCONFIG to turn off certain programs and when I turned them all off--Hoster didnt recognize any disk drives....so the answer could lie somewhere in what is running and not running to maximize my RAM... but I am thinking of getting a New Dell. This is driving me nuts.. Hopefully Bob can help me with this computer.

I just tried importing a CDG TTFP-07 into microstudio as a Karaoke.BIN file and it locked up the program... It loaded a regular CD (Audio) fine... What is it with the CDGs? I used the MTU Drive to attempt the CDG Import.

Disconnect from the internet & shut down all virus & firewall programs. Long shot, but a possible cause?

Hi' Doug can you come over sun or mon morning,
also that top tunes might be media-cloqed ill tell you more about that when i see you. Bob

Hi Bob,
I can come over whenever you are ready--even after the show tonight...This is driving me nuts... When I restarted my computer, microstudio said that it imported the first song of that top tunes disk. When I went to play it, it began and then immediately ended.. so much for that import...I went to circuit city today and looked at an HP Pavillion a1730n Desktop PC and an HP Pavilion dv2214us 14.1" Widescreen Notebook PC. Both are out of stock but can be ordered.Hmmm. I want to get this working or loaded to a new computer before my MTU download expires.
