Hi - I have resolved this problem today -r u still having problems ?

 

[shayba666]

I do.. could you tell me what to do?

 

[Woodgnome]

are you using windows 7 64bit or windows 7 32 bit ?

 

[Woodgnome]

ah sorry - just looked at the info under your signature - i managed to get mine to work under windows 7 32bit - try i did , it just wouldn't work under windows 7 64bit .

thanks Woody but I just managed it myself. I am Running Win7 x64 and surprisingly, Virtual PC and XP environment solves the issue.. suddenly 32bit drivers work just fine. Therefore I had to instal SS, codecs, drivers and so on from scratch on Virtual Machine but finally it worked. USB under virtual XP can be a real pain in the tit.. I had to plug charger into my medieval Net MD to keep it alive during transfer, because it was simply switching it off (with battery fully charged).
Thanks for respond again, you're top man.

<--------- and yeah.. it says it here what version we're running

Yes - sorry - forgot about XP mode in VM - it was such a pain, I didn't consider it a viable option - I downloaded a 90 trial of windows 7 enterprise 32 bit from microsoft & archived it before activating (with Acronis True Image) & used that - every 90 days I restore the unactivated acrchive & get another 90 days

yeah.. it can be a pain... I know.. some of my mates are using original Microsoft software too..
