Sony HAR-LH500 and XP
 

Has anyone got the version of M-Crew that comes with the HAR-LH500 (V2.6E)
to work on XP? Mine works ok on a W98 laptop but on the XP machine it causes
a reboot just after the title bar appears, just as the reading starts I
guess.

TIA

Yes, no problems with crashing. While it worked it was fine. My
machine is fully service packed though, so that may be worth checking.
I've also found (anecdotal, rather than properly tracked down) that
some USB devices don't like other USB devices, so perhaps try it
without any other USB stuff connected.

However it did randomly corrupt most of the files on the HAR-LH500
without warning... Apparently the repaired machine is now ready for
me to collect.

OK, I've found one problem, case sensitive searching - that's crap. Is there
a way to get in there and change some settings?
