Import problem

[Monolithent]

Good afternoon everyone,

I have been using MStudio 4.002 on my Vista Home Premium machine and was having difficulty importing and converting some discs. I was able to import them with Hoster but the discs have quite a bit of age on them and they didn't look very good at all, so I thought I would try using MStudio because it has the error correction capability.

When I try to import with MStudio I tell it that I want the .bin which I will later convert to KMA using songverter. I tell it to read the disc which it does, then I select all of the tracks give it a disc ID and then hit Import selected tracks.

The Drive fires up and the dialog like in Hoster comes up saying it is importing track 01, 02, etc. The thing is that it only takes about 2 seconds to do the import where in Hoster some of these took substantially longer.

When I go to try to play the imports in either MStudio or Hoster I get the singer screen for about half a second and then nothing. I have tried upgrading both Hoster to 3.116 and MStudio to 4.004 but it didn't change anything. I'm a little leary of going to 3.117 because I have no other problems with 3.116 and I don't think it has anything to do with the problem.

I tried upgrading the Plextor drive (which worked perfectly with Hoster) to the latest firmware (1.07 to 1.09) and also tried using my old Plextor 52/24 CD-RW and and the Lite-On Drive with no change.

I looked around through the Forum but I'm terrible with searches and didn't find anything in particular about this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I built this computer myself and here are the specs:

Processor: AMD X64 3800 AM2 Single Core

How bad are these disc.
are they org or copys, can you see through them , are they scratched?.
are the lables intact.
try cleaning them with a good cleaner.
i use nufinish auto polish (no grit) and it fills in the scratches. Bob

They are originals. Sound Choice and Music Maestro mostly.

I used NuFinish Scratch Doctor on all of them and that allowed me to get all but three of them into Hoster in the first place.

I am at a loss on this.

I'll try waxing them again and see if that helps.

Appreciate the response

I gather from your post that the problem started with the 4002 installation, and you've not been able to import at all. If that's the case:

Make sure Windows is up to date.

Use CUSTOM, not EXPRESS, and be certain to get NET FRAMEWORK. The newer Microstudio versions require it.

I check monthly for all updates on all of my systems and always do custom. I use Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update so it covers all of my MS programs.

Just checked for the odd chence and there was nothing for this machine.

This is messing with my head.

Have you tried making a diskcopy first and then import from the copy?
Try playing the tracks from the original by using the cd button on the playlist and try playing from there.
Also try importing a few of them as audio to see if that's working.
