Sonic MyDVD Updates
MyDVD v5.2 Software Upgrade
Sonic is now providing a special MyDVD 5.2 upgrade offer to those using MyDVD that came bundled with certain Sony Dual RW drives.

MyDVD Update
Why is RecordNow telling me I have the wrong version of Windows Media Player (WMP) after I just installed WMP 10?
RecordNow interacts with the Windows Media Player when creating audio discs. The main usage is to extract audio track information.
After installing WMP 10 on a system with an older version of RecordNow installed will result in an error message being displayed that the version of the Windows Media Player is not correct and the CD lookup function will fail to extract the track information.
Please download and install the patch appropriate for your version of RecordNow.
Updates to Sonic products are typically delivered through the Sonic Update Manager application. Select "Check for Updates" in the Help menu of your Sonic application.
When trying to play a DVD movie with Power DVD the sound/video is distorted.
Please try the following to fix this issue:
1. Disable the "Enable Audio Digital" for the DVD drive . To do this go to Device Manager, right click on the Sony DVD drive , go to Properties and remove the check from "Enable Audio Digital".
2. Make sure you have the latest upgrades for you sound and video card. Please contact the manufacture of these cards for the updates.
3. Disable your Anti-Virus programs. Some Anti-Virus programs will start up when you try to play a DVD movie and cause distortion.
When I launch the Record Now program I receive an error message "Could not complete the last command because of a unknown error ". How can I resolve this?
Please go to the Microsoft website and download the latest version of Windows Media Player.
When opening Simple Backup I get an error message, "uiserve.dll was not found. sbwin23.exe unable to locate component." What is causing this error?
After installing Simple Backup, the following messages may appear when trying to start the software:
"A required .DLL file, UISERVE.DLL, was not found."
or
"The SBWIN32.EXE file is linked to missing export CITWBASE.DLL."
This error is due to the Registry path for Simple Backup pointing to a different install path than the shortcuts.
The solution is to copy all of the ".DLL" files located in the default directory "C:\Program Files\Stomp\Simple Backup\System" up one level, to the folder "C:\Program Files\Stomp\Simple Backup."
NOTE: If the default install path is modified, the above sub-directory structure may vary accordingly.
