Microsoft puts out Security and other updates weekly. Any time I am going to upgrade my show computer I always get the Microsoft updates first before I Install. I recommend you do the same.

Ok...we have beat that to death dale. I'm computer illiterate i admit. But stupid i'm not. First of all, the security updates are completly worthless unless you go online with your show machine, and i don't. Second, when i upgraded almost 10 months ago, i did the required updates, and the WMP, or activeX or DirectX thingy or whatever it is, wasn't on the upgrade list.

billyo you are truly a vision of wisdom in all this sea of misery and despair.... I read, and make use of all your advice, and i have learned a lot from you..thank you. And i agree with you 101%. Also beat to death by many. Our friend Ed Beram also tried to convey the same message in this very thread. It's a trade off. That's why it's been about 10 months ago that i upgraded last. Actually even then, it wasn't necessary.
And now that they're charging for the privilege of upgrading, i bet it will be longer before i do again. Hoster is a fantastic software program, but getting to be so sophisticated that common people can't use it, or make it work. I'm a karaoke show host, not a computer tech. And as you say billyo, if we have to keep upgrading our computer's resources as well...it could also become a very
costly karaoke presentation software. I thought hunting bear in the alaska foothills was expensive...lol The "Pay-As-You-Upgrade", now is just the beginning of the cost factor...Been with mtu since 2001 first upgrade i've ever been charged for. What was it that mtu had on their website for years? "Something about the "Privilege of loyal mtu users to upgrade"?
