Vista - Sonic Stage Stopped Working ... checking for a solution

I have an mp3 player, Sony Walkman NW-E015F. It has its installation CD where there is written that it works with VIsta. I install it correctly using all the rules. But after that it never opens saying that Sonic Stage Stopped Working ... checking for a solution. Can i ever use that program somehow on this damn Windows Vista or can anybody say how can i turn off the option which is responsible for that "Stopped Working ... checking for a solution" messages????????????
I used Problem Reports and Solutions, i sent the reports about this error, but it never gives any solution to this

You could probably use another program with your MP3 player such as WinAmp. As for your problem with Sonic Stage, have you uninstalled it, ran Ccleaner, reboot and reinstall? It may just be a corrupt installation of the program.

Thank you for your reply, i tried already twice to uninstall the program with absolute uninstaller, then installed it again and nothing changed.
Other programs don't work with this Sony Walkman, it needs its own program. I'm trying to fing some other alternative programs to Sonic Stage, but they don't work properly too, again this same message "checking for the solution"

I am having the same problem.

From what I've been told, there seems to be an issue in SALWRAP (Secure Application Layer) - and that something with that technology may have changed in a fairly recent Vista or Windows Media Player update.

I have not heard of any solution yet unfortunately...

So if anyone has any ideas - please HELP!!!

oh - i posted a question about this issue on the minidisc forum - here:

Sonic Stage 4.3 Suddenly Stopped Working in Vista - Minidisc Community Forums

I Have Sonic Stage 4.3 I Joined this forum Hopefully to solve this problem.
Right click the sonic stage logo on your desktop,click on properties,click compatability mode,check the box marked 256 colors then click apply,then ok.open sonic stage as normal,this worked for me. if everything is okay close sonic stage go back intocompatabilty mode uncheck the box and apply.this worked for me, I have no idea why.
hope this works let me know.

unfortunately, that fix didn't work for me.

thanks though!

Have you tried a different compatability mode,say 640x480 screen resolution,worth a try,mine had the same problem for 3wks with no solutions online,then I messed about with comp mode and it worked,I know how you feel,so anythings worth a try.

Dear Superuser, you advice didn't help me either. I tried several times several modes but all in vain

So my Sonic Stage started working again suddenly yesterday. Not sure why but here are the things that I did:

Created new shortcut on desktop.
Checked Run as administrator.
Clicked run in XP Compatibility mode.
When it didn't run - SS tried to go online to fix the problem.
I canceled the fix. Went back in and unchecked the XP Compatibiltiy, kept Run as Administrator checked though.
Opened program and it worked.

I haven't had the nerve to shut it down and try to open the program again though...

Hope this helps someone else...
