Can someone help, please?

I've just experienced strange problems with BeoPort:  as pictured (left part of the picture) I suddenly can't specify portable copying quality in my BeoPort's CONFIG menu. The box to set this quality (as compared to the right of the enclosed picture taken from the GUIDE) simply disappeared and I also have additional problems with eg being unable to copy directly from PC CD to my BeoSound2! - Tried many things: to reset the BS2, to update my BeoPort version, tried different SD cards, but nothing seems to solve the problem. The BeoPort can though locate the Beosound2 and has it displayed on its portable device list! Would be thankful for any ideas ...

One more mysterious thing: when I tried to copy songs directly from PC CD to BeoSound 2 strange words appeared where it usually is saying BeoSound 2?! (see the pic)

Thanks for that Andy, anyway. Maybe some Microsoft update somehow quarels with my BeoPlayer, then? (I start to understand the mac crowd, I guess...)

The only way how I now can copy a music CD to SD card in my BS2 is by first copying it into Beoplayer and (only!) then switching to FOLDER display when in N.MUSIC mode before getting it to the SD card ... still I can't set the copying quality

Hello Saf !

It sounds like some recent software installation drivers have interfered, blocked, or provoked some kind of incompatibility with beoplayer software and drivers specially those referent to beosound2.

My advice would be a complete un-installation (even using a "RegCleaner" or similar afterwards to erase all registry traces) and a full re-installation of beoplayer software from scratch.

Hope you have good luck my friend.

Have you installed Nero Burning Rom lately?

I don't have a Beosound 2, so I can't try anything myself, but I would take a look in Device Manager (Right Click on My Computer, choose Manage and click on Device Manager), and see if there is any yellow question marks or exclamation marks there... And maybe uninstall the Beosound 2... Worth a shot! 😕

Thanks mate (I copied some music as described above though - for my BeoSound3)!
