Try moving the CD drive from the XP to the Vista laptop and try importing. If it works then you have a drive that is not CDG compatible.

Thanks for the reply,

I do have an external USB Plextor 716a cd drive that I purchased from MTU and I can hook it up to either computer. The drive and program works well on my XP laptop but will not work on my Vista laptop. The tracks import to the hard drive fine but the screen won't play the music or display the words, the screen turns black and a ticking sound is heard. It will not play directly from disc either.

Sounds to me like your problem is not with the drive or the program, but with Vista's settings for the video and audio. If you were to transfer a KMA file you imported on the Vista and took it to the xp computer it would play perfectly. Hoster use the system audio settings. Make sure all of your output volume controls are up and not muted. There are settings for WAV/MP3, CD audio and the master volume and these need to be max or near to it.
Your video part maybe that your video card drivers need an update. Check the laptop manufacturer's website for updates for your model. Even if you buy a brand new computer they may have updates for it.
That would also go for getting all of the updates from Microsoft for your computer. For this you have to go to their update website and load the custom (or "optional" as I was informed tonight for Vista) updates....all of them.
