Thank you Bill

Thank you Mike for this encouraging information.
This particular SD card is kind of a permanent resident in my keyboard I did not removed it often since it has my favorite styles and sequences,
I will try to clean the contacts the way you recommend, my current laptop has Windows 7.

Thanks again

Use KN-SDExplorer to back up your card and restore it to a new one. That will get you back working.

In the meantime, copy the entire contents of the card onto your computer, as an additional backup.

I have received SDExplorer1_10.zip files in Vimeo from Fred, downloaded them to my loop top and RMC on SDExplorer.msi and the dialog box that comes up "The installer will guide you..." is not the same as on the Installing KN-SDE manual on the web, what I get is "Select whether you want to repair or remove KN7000 SDExplorer." i select repair, and select Finish, and then nothing else is happening. I don't get the conformation of installation.

I have Windows 7. Another question how do i unzip the files.

Thanks Mike

Mike,

The message you received means that the programme was already installed. All you have to do is follow the instructions in Fred's email about licensing the programme.

Please note that the programme does not run unless there's an SD Card in your computer.

For usage, follow the instructions in the manual here:

https://software.technicskn7000.com/manual/starting-program/

If you have issues with starting the programme by the instructions on that page, refer to the page for Windows 8.1 as those instructions should also apply.

Best wishes,
Mike

Thank you Mike,I will give it another try, I was able to copy my
256MG SD Card content to my PC and then copied all to a new 1GB SD Card and than played it in the keyboard to make sure it's OK.
I am sure that i will have a lot more questions.

I am not sure what you mean about the instructions licencing the programme. He did resend my password for the licence and i filled out the rec'd fields.

All the best Mike

Would it be advisable to delete all the SDExplorer files from my new HP windows 7 computer including the ones I copied from old Compac windows 98, and then download the new files that Fred send me, since I can not get any SDexplorer dialog boxes.

Thank you
