I had this happen during my first complete show w/ hoster, I attributed it to running another (resource hog) program at the time. I closed the other program, and Hoster was fine. Now that you mention it though, I think I might have had a problem with having to close the 'Add HD track' window once or twice due to freezing lyrics... I figured it was my slow laptop not being able to keep up with everything. I'm planning on upgrading soon, but not sure if I want to get a new laptop, or the new Portable PC. Maybe it wasn't my laptop at all then...anyone else have these problems? For the record:

My laptop:
Toshiba 2805-S402
Pentium III 850Mhz
NVidia GeForce2 Go Integrated GPU (16Mb)
Windows XP-Pro
DirectX 9
Hoster installed on boot drive NTFS (C: internal 20Gb w/ 12.7Gb Free)
Files hosted on USB2 Western Digital NTFS 120Gb w/67.3Gb Free
6801 songs imported using 28.7 Gb

What is everyone else using?

I knew I left something out of my specs, I have only 128Mb, and yes, this trouble occured to me while only using songs from the hard drive as well. Graphics froze, music kept playing, when I closed the other program I had running it cleared itself. Then it happened again, and I had to close the 'Add HD track' window, which I was keeping open in the lower right hand corner. Once I closed the window, it cleared. Graphics instantly caught up and all was well.
Like I said I assumed it to be my slow memory starved computer. But once other people mentioned it, I figured since I ran into the same trouble (or similar), I should post what happened to me. I'm going to see if I can recreate it and let you know what I find. Thanks again.
