Serial number mismatch with registration information

PROBLEM: This error only appears with Microstudio 2.506-2.605 running under Windows 98SE or ME, not Windows XP or 2000. A fix for this problem is to install a Network (Ethernet) card in your computer. You can purchase a USB card from any computer store. A PCI-bus card takes more to install. Plug the USB card into the computer and then Install Microstudio. You don't need to use the network card, just have it physically attached to the computer.

SOLUTION: Upgrade to Microstudio 2.607 or higher when this problem was fixed.

ERROR: Finish DAO Recording, Command Failed on Device 0:0:0.
Unit Attention. (04h 00h 02h 05h 2Ch 00h)

PROBLEM: The Drive is going bad.

SOLUTION: Call Plextor at 800-866-3935 to return the drive to them.

NOTE:The device 0:0:0 above may be different as it changes based on how the drive is attached to the computer.

ERROR: 'Load Disc' Command Failed on Device 0:0:0.
Unrecoverable Hardware Error (04h 00h 02h 04h 09h 01h)

PROBLEM: The Drive is going bad.

SOLUTION: Call Plextor at 800-866-3935 to return the drive to them.

 

ERROR: 'Load Disc' Command Failed on Device 0:0:0.
Device contains no disc or is not ready (04h 00h 02h 02h 3Ah 00h)

PROBLEM: There is no disc detected in the reading drive.

SOLUTION #1: Open the drive tray and insert an original disc to duplicate or a blank CDR disc, whichever is needed for the operation you are doing.

SOLUTION #2: Make sure the drive cable is plugged into the drive and the computer. If it is an internal IDE or SCSI drive, shut down Windows and turn the power off to check the cable so you can unplug each end and plug them back in.

If this is a USB or Firewire external drive, you can plug and unplug the cable without turnning the power off, and while Windows is running.

SOLUTION #4: The ASPI driver may be damaged. Reinstall Microstudio, or your Windows ASPI driver, whichever driver you have selected in the Microstudio Tools menu.

SOLUTION #3: The drive may have failed.

 

ERROR: Unable to read AUDIO sectors 0 to 25 on device 0:0:0
'Illegal command request' (04h 00h 02h 05h 24h 00h)

PROBLEM: The CD-R drive doesn't support the CD+G format correctly. Click here to see a list of drives that INCORRECTLY show Yes to cause this error.

SOLUTION: Buy an MTU CDG Certified CDR/DVDR burner that will read and write the CDG format.

ERROR: Write command failed on device 1:1:0
read/write error or bad medium detected (04h 00h 02h 03h 73h 03h)

PROBLEM: Usually, this message means that your computer is not sending the Data to the CD-R drive fast enough. Thus, there is something in the computer that is slowing down the system. It can also be seen when there is a bad disc in the drive.

SOLUTION #1: You may have a bad disc in the drive, or not a CDR blank disc if that is required for this operation. Also, if you use cheap media, you can get this error message as the reflective coating on it is so "transparent" that the laser doesn't detect it is there!

SOLUTION #2: Run the Disc Defragmenter by going to the Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disc Defragmenter. This will take some time, depending on the size of your drive (200GB takes twice as long as a 100GB drive). It will move fractured files stored in various locations on the hard drive, each into continuous areas on the hard drive.

Click here to have Microsoft's web site check for and install all Windows updates your computer requires... for FREE! NOTE: Some updates may be large files that are difficult to download with a dialup modem. Cable or DSL connections should have no problems.

Run a program like Spybot Search and Destroy to search for and remove Spyware programs from your computer.

Update your Motherboard drivers from your computer manufacturer. These will be called the Chipset drivers or Motherboad drivers.

This should help, but there is something slowing down the system. You must find out what it is to fix the problem.

 

ERROR: Unable to copy CDs with more than one track!
or
ERROR: Multisession discs not supported!

or
Error: 'Start DAO Recording' command failed on device 3:0:0
Disc type is not supported.

NOTE: This only occurs with the Plextor PX-W708 or PX-W712 DVD Recorder Models.

PROBLEM: Microstudio uses an ASPI driver to access the CDR/DVDR drives. Some software damage the access to this ASPI driver.

SOLUTION: Remove Roxio EZ CD Creator 6 and Nero 6. These 2 programs will cause this error.

 

ERROR: The microstudio.exe file is linked to missing export DDRAW.DILL: Direct DrawCreate.exe

PROBLEM: Your Windows Direct-X version is not 9.0 or higher, which Microstudio requires to run.

SOLUTION: Click here to download and upgrade DirectX to version 9.0 or later from Microsoft.

 

ERROR: Failed to load dll_isuser or dll_ismtu

PROBLEM: The Microstudio 2.604 and some prior versions had a problem in the Installation program that would show this error message.

SOLUTION: Upgrade to Microstudio 2.605 (or later) to fix this error. You can do this by clicking on your Personal Download Link in your original email. If you have lost this, then you need to click here to purchase the upgrade.

ERROR: Please select a reading device (CD ROM)

PROBLEM: This is a bug that randomly occurs in Microstudio 2.605.

SOLUTION: Left click the Down arrow next to Reading drive. Then Left click on your Plextor or other working drive. You must do this each time you see this error message. This only occurs on the Duplicate Disc Tab.

This will be fixed in future Microstudio release.

 

ERROR: Unexpected failure writing file (disc full)

PROBLEM: You are trying to save your files to the CD-Rom or CD-Recorder, not the hard drive which is required.

SOLUTION: Click the Select Folder button on the Tab you are on and select a hard disc drive folder or drive (typically C, D and maybe E drives). DO NOT select a CD drive or CDROM drive. The Select Folder button is on the Play, Duplicate Disc, Custom Assembly, and Import Tracks Tabs.

 

ASPI - Any Error messages mentioning ASPI

PROBLEM: Something has damaged your ASPI drivers used to communicate with the CDR/DVDR drive(s).
