neoRECORDER  Troubleshooting

   

          Installation & Uninstallation

1-1

I cannot click the [Next] button to input my serial number; it seems to be disabled. Or I cannot continue installing; the message "The serial number is wrong" appears after clicking [Next].

  • You must complete all the user information fields, including [Corporation], before installation can continue. If you are not using the software in a business, please enter "Self" in the [Corporation] field.
  • Use only capital letters when entering the serial number.
  • Verify that you have not used letters instead of numbers (i.e. "0" instead of a zero, "I" instead of number one, etc.).

Can I install neoRECORDER and other Audio/Data Recording software applications on the same PC?

Yes, as far as our testing shows, neoRECORDER can be installed at the same time as CD-Recording software from other vendors. However, each time such software is installed, along with utilities, SCSI boards, printers, and/or scanners, the ASPI Manager may be overwritten. This may cause problems that can usually be solved by resetting the ASPI Manager to standard Windows condition.

1-3 I cannot install the updater I downloaded from the MedioStream Website.

This could happen for one of the following reasons.

  1. The updater is damaged.
    The updater may have been damaged while it was being downloaded. Clear your browser's cache and download the updater again.

    Clearing the cache: Internet Explorer Users: Open [Internet Options] in the [Tool] menu, then delete the temporary files. Netscape Users: Select [Preferences] in the [Edit] menu, and clear the cache under [History].
  2. neoRECORDER is damaged after it is installed. We recommend you reinstall neoRECORDER after checking the file system with Scan Disk or another similar tool.
  3. Check that you have the correct updater.

I want to install neoRECORDER 7, but I have neoRECORDER installed. Do I need to uninstall neoRECORDER?

You do not need to uninstall neoRECORDER. neoRECORDER 7 is installed in a separate folder. The default location is "neoRECORDER 7" in the "Program Files" folder.

Unless you are running out of space on your hard drive, there is no need to uninstall previous versions of neoRECORDER. You can use neoRECORDER with neoRECORDER 7 installed on the same computer (not simultaneously).

[Windows 2000 & XP] When I try to install neoRECORDER 7, I get a message telling me that I "need to log on using an Administrator account to install."

When installing/uninstalling programs under Windows 2000 and XP, you must log in as the Administrator to install/uninstall the program.

If you are logged in with Administrator access, then click [OK] and install the program.

If you click [OK] and you still cannot install the program, have you logged in as a Domain User? neoRECORDER 7 cannot be used over a network, you cannot install it using a Domain User account. Log in as a local user on your computer.

If you still cannot install the program, create a new account with Administrator privileges. Log in as this user and try installing the program.

I cannot download the updater.

Try one of the following suggested fixes.

  1. Download the updater at a different time.
    If you are trying to download the updater at the same time of day every time, there may be too many users trying to download the updater at the same time, hence slowing down the download or denying access to it. Try again at another time of day.
  2. Clear the browser cache.
    Internet Explorer Users: Open [Internet Options] in the [Tool] menu, then delete the temporary files.
    Netscape Users: Select [Preferences] in the [Edit] menu, and clear the cache under [History].
  3. If you are connected to the Internet using a proxy server, try downloading the updater without using the proxy server setting.

    If the updater was not downloaded properly into the proxy server cache, no matter how many times you try to download it, you will be downloading the same file from the proxy server cache without solving the problem. You could try clearing the cache as in 2 above, but this does not clear the proxy server cache. This can only be done by the provider or administrator. To download the updater without going through the proxy server, disable the proxy server settings using one of the following methods for your browser.
    • Internet Explorer Users: Open [Internet Options] in the [Tool] menu, then click the [LAN Settings] button under the [Connection] tab. Disable the "Use a proxy server" option under [Proxy server].
    • Netscape Users: Select [Preferences] in the [Edit] menu, and open [Advanced] -> [Proxies] under [Category]. Enable the "Direct connection to the Internet" option.

When downloading the updater, I have a choice to [Open] or [Save]. Is it safe to select [Open]?

We recommend you select [Save] and save the updater onto your hard drive. If you select [Open], you may encounter data transfer problems over the Internet and local network and the program may not be updated properly.
