Microstudio 3.004 Reinstallation Problem

[Musicman51]

Bin Files, but i'm not sure if the newest version will work on your 2000 system? I know it works on XP. Dale might know more about that. Microstudio has many wonderful new features, such as dual display, recording apps, key controller. A suggestion would be to check out the newest version of microstudio at mtu website. Perhaps try downloading the free trial version. The newest version will indeed work on your XP machine. I really think, if i were you, that would be the way i'd go. The new version of Microstudio is much more efficent then the very early versions. As our friend dale mentioned, do all your required updates on XP, and upgrade your hardware only through the manufacture's website. I hope i've given a little help here.

Both versions import the files exactly the same way. The difference is the extension (BIN vs CDG). The reason for the naming chang was to allow Microstudio to work with MP3+G which actually has two files (an MP3 and a CDG) without confusing everyone.
The two files (BIN and CDG) still work exactly the same, are exactly the same size, burn back to CDs the same way.
As Musicman51 said, you really do need to update to 4.22 because so much work has been done on it to make it much better for everyone anddoes work with XP quite well. All of my computers are XP and no problems. Ignore the version number on the main page and the purchase page as they are wrong and the download you get will be the current version.
If you have previously imported files (CDG) Microstudio will change them (rename only) to BIN.

The upgrade would install just fine as stated above. You have some type of Revmovable storage in your computer, such as a memory stick, flash drive, or even an SD type of card, such as a memory card for a camera, that now has some type of information on it.

Remove this piece of hardware from your system, then reinstall the software and it will work fine, most likely.

I would recommend upgrading and you should be fine also.

I removed the hard drive with Windows XP that I wanted to reinstall Microstudio on and put it in my other computer in a spare bay and Microstudio installed. I then reinstalled it into the other computer and it works fine.

There was no external memory card or drive in place on the original computer as suggested. I am curious, why does MTU name the Microstudio back up disks "Harry Connick Jr.?

Good question.
Was the XP computer connected to the Internet when you tried to install Microstudio?

Yes, it was connected.

This backup disk has always displayed "Harry Connick Jr" since I first used it. I never paid that much attention to it because I didn't have any issues with installation before.
