As to your system crashing, please remember how much help you received from all of us in this Community. Whenever you build a computer without expert knowledge, you run the risk of having a "flaky" system. Given that others are not mentioning crashes like you are, I believe the problem lies more in your computer and Windows installation rather than Hoster. Please keep this in mind before criticizing Hoster for crashing. If you have crash problems, please start a new Thread and discuss what is causing it, what yo are doing just before the crash, what happens, what error messages appear, etc. The more facts you can give us the more we can help you solve the problem.

Hi,
I am sorry about sounding like I am sounding, after reading some of the replies I am surprised at how bad my threads were sounding, believe me, they aren't meant to sound the way they do. Things can be read differently and have totally different meanings. Anyway, thanks to all who have helped and when I thread a new one, don't think I am just ranting and raving, I am probably just letting my fingers move and I get short on time and don't bother to proof read and so it gets sent with the wrong meaning. I think I did well as far as putting my system together, and loading XP and all, but I am pretty sure it is as you say that there is something wrong in XP causing hoster to shut down. I don't have anything else ever running except the sound card program. I have not been able to determine what causes the shutdown except in one occasion when it was playing the last song in the play list, reason was, someone changed their song at the last second, so I tried my skills at getting the new one on, well I added the new one and it appeared at the bottom of the play list which was already built, instead of moving it to the top I just played it from the position that it got entered, and I planned to mix in some fill music from my other player after that singer finished, when the song ended, hoster just stopped and became unfunctional and the hour glass cursor was on and it just remained on, I tried to restore hoster in several ways but no luck so I just shutdown and started all over again. All of the other times it just would stop arbitrarily with out any outside interference. I hope by March I will have an internet connection at that computer so I can install updates, maybe that is the problem. I did install updates the day I installed XP.
One more symptom, that might be a clue to what is wrong.
It takes a long time to initially boot up this computer, like it is looking for another boot source or something, the reason I say this is because I did not install a 3.5 floppy, don't really need one, I have a cd burner, is there a setting I should change or look for that would allow the boot up to not look for drive A. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree but my hunch is I am on to something.
Thanks for any advice,
Seve
