Invalid INF file
Hi,
I have some trouble using a Sony Network walkman with Windows Vista - it ran fine with XP using the same version of Sony´s SonicStage that supposedly has all the drivers. The message I keep getting is that there is an invalid section of the INF file - does anybody know how to solve the problem. The problem occurs with two different devices. |

All,
Just a suggestion: If you can't get the issue resolved here, try contacting Sony Support. Sony should know how to take care of this if anyone can. Another thought, try using google for possible answers. Anyone else? -- freddy "mhtweety" wrote: Hi, I have some trouble using a Sony Network walkman with Windows Vista - it ran fine with XP using the same version of Sony´s SonicStage that supposedly has all the drivers.

Hi,
I have been in communication with Sony support for the past three weeks with no result - their latest suggestion is that having a Danish version of Windows Vista is invalidating the INF file in the SonicStage software. I find that somewhat unlikely as I ran SonicStage with no problems on the Danish version of XP - any thoughts on this?

mhtweety,
Your guess is as good as mine. I can speculate that since Vista isn't the same as XP, then the .inf file used in XP would likely have problems with Vista. That is, Vista reads the WinXP file and says, what the?? I'm Vista, not XP! That's just my logic. I just don't know. If Sony has no answer, then try Windows Update. Sometimes Windows Update includes fixes for problems like this. If that doesn't work, then perhaps Sony will eventually come through with a fix. Try google to see what others are saying about this. -- freddy "mhtweety" wrote: Hi, I have been in communication with Sony support for the past three weeks with no result - their latest suggestion is that having a Danish version of Windows Vista is invalidating the INF file in the SonicStage software.

Make sure the version of SonicStage you are using is compatible with Vista - I think SonicStage CP 4.3 is the first version which is. If not, download and install the latest version. Then try looking on Sony's web site for Vista drivers for your device. If the drivers for your model are listed for XP but not Vista, you could try looking for Vista drivers for similar models. For example, they don't have Vista drivers for my MZ-N510 NetMD player, but the Vista drivers for the MZ-520 work fine with it. |
