I am having a strange occurrence with my MTU USB reader/writer and Hoster. I have found that 44X speed works great for reading my CDG disk without any hiccups in the graphics/music. However, when I first start importing (when I first run Hoster for the day) the CDG the MTU reader is defaulting to a slow speed – 1X or 8X range. I have 44X chosen in the import section and I also have the drive marked and saved as 44 X in the drive setup section in the main screen of Hoster. While it is importing in this slow mode (when I first start up) I can open Internet Explorer and go online and then the MTU reader/writer will go to the 44X speed and will remain there until the computer is restarted the next day – even after shutting down IE. I don’t see how opening IE would have any affect to the speed that the drive is reading at. In Microstudio the drive always runs fast without any problem from the get-go. Any thoughts or suggestions?
BTW I have two hard drives and I run Apps from my C drive and save files (songs in the case of Hoster) to my D drive.
