Import problem

[Monolithent]

Thanks for the ideas.

I don't know why I didn't think to make a copy first and see if it might work that way. I'll try that and let you know.

I don't believe they are MediaCloq discs. They are nearly a decade old. Sound Choice Spotlights SC8102 through SC8262 missing some here and there.

And unless Windows isn't telling me something I have the latest .NET framework and the service pack updates. My installed programs is set to show updates. It's a bit different with Vista than I am used to with XP. I can't see anything about .NET but the Microsoft Update site shows that I have nothing available to be installed in either custom or high priority.

Well DOWNLOAD it and see if it makes a difference. If you have it, no harm will be done. If you don't, you need it to run Microstudio 4002. You can't assume you have all the necessary updates just because windows doesn't see a need in your pc. That's why I linked you to the .NET FRAMEWORK download page.

I misunderstood you earlier George. My fault.

I tried to download and install 2.0 from your post (thanks for that by the way) I had to dig around to find the 64 bit version but when I went to install it the system said it was already there with the Operating System and it cancelled the install.

I am currently installing version 3.5 to see if that helps.

I will let you know how it turns out.

Nothing to feel bad about.

It must not be that, then.

I believe all that's required is version 1.1 or higher.

[Monolithent]

3.5 didn't change anything. Still the same.

I even tried a disk that was in very good condition and it did the same thing. When I check the BIN Files in the folder they show as 0 bytes. It won't even play directly from a disc. It reads it and shows the titles I click the one I want to play, the black lyrics screen pops on for a split second but it doesn't do anything else.

Basic troubleshooting now tells me that it isn't the discs (tried with several brands and ages) it shouldn't be Windows (all the updates are there and it didn't work with the two .NET Framework types but I'm not ruling it out completely) The burner works perfectly with Hoster and isn't on the "doesn't work for this program list" not to mention I tried three other models and finally MStudio is updated to the latest version (4.004).

And banging my head on the keyboard is clearly not helping though the tattoo of the letters G H J does look kinda cool.

Do you have any other burner software such as Roxio Easy CD Creator installed that might be interfering?

It has been known to happen.

Monolithent,
I think you are just going to have to face it that the condition of these disks are going to prevent you from importing them. Sound Choice uses some of the cheapest and worst disks made. They are too thin (layered) and too transparent to work right to begin with. Then when you add the age and condition you are really in trouble. No program of software update can over come these conditions at that point.

Apparantly they are not all old, beat up discs.

Maybe you got a corrupted download. Uninstall Microstudio, download a new .exe file and install it. See if thsat makes any difference.

[Monolithent]

The only burning capability I have with this particular machine is only what comes with windows. No Roxio or Nero or anything like that.

Ddouglass, like I said, I tried with several different brands and types (believe me I know about SC and their media) but it didn't make a difference on any of them. I tried with the newest and shiniest discs I have and it did the exact same thing as all the others.

I will try a reinstall per your suggestion George and see if that helps.
