"This Memory Stick may not record or play" Message on DSC-H20

Sony DSC-H20 display an error message: This Memory Stick may not record or play.

I just bought a new camera model Sony DSC-H20 and Sony memmory stick as recommended by Sony seller.
However, for my bad suprise the brand new camera Sony DSC-H20 display an error message: This Memory Stick may not record or play.

After insistng to play with the camera I got the following message: reinsert memory stick and Error C 13:02 afterwards.

Solution: I got a wrong speed's memmory stick card. For newer cameras make sure to have the right speed memmory stick.
For DSC-H20 the specification is Sony Magic Gate Mark2. The seller sold me the old model of Sony: Magic Gate memmory stick.
After change the memory stick finally I could have fun with this nice camera.

I have the DSC-H20 Camera. And I also get the error Message "This Memory Stick may not record or play" despite having Sony MemoryStick PRO duo Magic gate Mark2 8GB
This one has number MS-MT8G and is approved by Sony for use in this Camera. See: http://support.sony-europe.com/memstick/compatibility/compat . . .

So if i'm not mistaken, there are two conflicting information here.
1. Fabio Juliato- 21 June 09 said after changing memory stick to Mark 2, problem was resolved.
2. Krispilot- 25 July 09 said despite using Mark 2, problem persists, can anyone really tell me a final word on this issue please. My week old camera can't do much cos the it's not writing to memory stick.

I have the same problem. This memory stick may not record or play is displayed on my Sony dsc-H20. But Iit seems to be working ok as I have managed to take photos and video. What should I do? Get a new one or have it relaced? Thanks

I have a t90 and when i first put in my 4gb pro duo i had a C:32:01 error. Had to format the card on my pc and when i inserted i got the message "This Memory Stick may not record or play". All i did was press the message(touch screen) and the message disappeared and camera works as normal. Records and plays pictures and video.

The same problem here in Ecuador South America, what I do not finally understand is the fact Sony does not say anything about this...??? they should say very clear when you buy the Sony DSC h20 what kind of memory stick the buyer must use.. Now I have to buy other memory stick.. and belive me here in Ecuador prices are more expensive. Actually I do not find any memory stick mark2 of 4gb. Now I am using my camera with the error.. the memory saves and plays the files but the message allways appear.. I do not know if this will couse in the future some damage in the camera.. Someone that knows something please help..
