Graphics problem with first imported track - Caused by very old CD drive not useable

[Jance]

I reinstalled MTU4 on my new desktop (after uninstalling it from the original- to comply with the license agreement of course), and attempted a rip several of the CDs that had the graphics problems and wow. It worked. I was wrong to blame the software when this experience, as well as your helpful reply, shows that it was hardware. Thanks very much for responding!

Anycase:
CD Drive that didn't work: F: SONY CD-RW CRX160E 1.1b
CD Drive that worked: F: SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-148A B400

Computer that didn't work: Sony PVC-RX380DS (default hardware, WinXP)
Computer that worked:Sony VGC-RB43 (only the video card upgraded, WinXP)

Thanks guys!

It's probably the Sony CD-RW CRX160E 1.1b drive. Its very old technology, and may not work correctly with the new method that Microstudio 4.0 uses to recognize drives and read/write tracks. Check the Tools menu, Default Drives command. If it shows No for anything, then the drive won't work. Please read the manual on this Tools menu command for how it works.

I'm glad you have solved the problem. As Dale said, we have never had this problem reported before.
