glad to hear that...so i'll stay with sp2 then, so that way i dont have to keep bothering you on re-setting my reg everytime my laptop crashed, since i know that you guys are pretty busy.. thank you.

Did you reload the laptop fresh or get it to restore? If you loaded it fresh then there should be nothing to cause it to crash again if you install SP3. You will be better off.

had to reload it fresh..couldn't get it to restore.there should have been nothing to caused the crashed since the hhd was pretty new and there was nothing in it other than hoster, itunes and my virtual dj programs.. it was the cloned drive and i was working on downloading songs that i bought from itunes, when i got that auto update msg.

Could have been something in the cloning that caused it. I would go ahead and update it to SP3 at this point. 99% of that update is security fixes.

Are the ITunes files you are working on Audio or Karaoke files?

itunes files are all audio, that's what i read about the sp3 updates, i'm a little hesitant about that updates yet,,

Sp3
 

I loaded SP3 on my Dell Inspiron E1505, and have yet to experience any problems. (To include Hoster). Unfortunately some programs are having problems with the new security Updates, like McAfee AntivVirus 8, so make sure you go over the software you have installed and check it against Microsoft or the software manufacturer.

Sp3
 

I use Symantec Anti Virus V10 anyway.

I just heard about the problem with McAfee.

i have the same laptop dell e1505 and that's the one that crashed, don't have a lot of programs in it just itunes, hoster and my virtual dj programs ( pcdj & hercules mk2 ) and mcafee came (free) with my internet carrier..so , i also have another laptop e1405 ( back-up ) and have the same programs, i still wont update to sp3 ( both laptops has cloned 250 gb.hhd )

Sp3
 

Make sure you also have the A17 BIOS update for your laptop. McAfee is also addressing the SP3 issue. So go to their website for possible updates.

my McAfee is always updated it always does the update everytime i turn on my pc's& laptops.. think the latest update on my bios was A09..i'll try to work on in tonight..thanks for the suggestion..

thats fine, but Mcafee will post an upgrade for the software and not just a virus definition update...Check with the cable company's security website and see if they might have something posted.

I run hoster 3.321a in XP SP3 in a PC and Vista Ultimate in Laptop, all updates full, and no problems. In a show for 8 hours continous, freeze hoster only 1 time or never.
Hoster work fine in Vista and XP SP3....:)
