Interesting!
TKaraoke, do you have any other programs running on the same computer; particularly games?
I talked with our Sr. Programmer and he has no idea how to change DXDIAG. It is VERY DOUBTFUL that Hoster being installed is doing this. Try it and prove me wrong if you find different.
I disabled DXDIAG Direct Draw on my system, then CLOSED (very important) the DXDIAG dialog, ran Hoster 3.315 and screen redraw was perfect.
I enabled it again and closed the dialog, ran Hoster again and its still perfect.
To jog your memory, my system was farkled some time back after doing a change that I believe Ddouglass pointed out, and it never reversed back working right. Our Sr. Prog. refused to do this change to his so he never saw the slowness, except on my laptop. But now... I'm running perfectly.
We'll do some digging, but so far, this doesn't seem to be directly caused by Hoster... not to pass the buck, but that is our current engineering analysis.
