accessing SCS on laptop when USB speakers not available

Sound is run at the theatre via external USB speakers. I have tried to load SCS at home as I wish to load
a new show from my desktop (via a memory stick) I receive the message USB... not available and 3 options
.
1) Try to initialise USb again - not possible as not here
2)close cue file
3)close SCS.

How can I make progress (Preferable not too technical ?) ?? I am sure in the past ( A user for just under 2 years / 9 shows) I
have been able to continue using the laptops internal speakers and at a later date just change the speaker access.

Try a different USB stick.

Sorry - problem is not downloading the new data - that has been done - but accessing scs (with usb not conected) so that I can then tell it to load this data.
The three options I am presented with do not give me that option P Hill

I'm not following you. First of all, which version of SCS are you using? And can you post here (or email me) a screenshot of the message you are getting?

Are you loading SCS from the USB stick?

Problem sorted !

It was self inflicted. The laptops internal speaker driver had been deleted by mistake. So when SCS could not see either the external usb speakers (Not connected) or the internal ones. it could offer me no options but to loop back.

Many Thanks for the various suggestions - Peter Hill
