Hi Lloyd...
I just to have laptop pc (hp) and it was running under windows Vista.
I just to work at DELL and also have a Latitude pc, but I believe the
problem your having is not related to a hardware Issue, it is the operative system (VISTA).
I tryed using my Hp running VISTA and hoster found a problem over and over.
My recomend is to downgrade your pc to win xp, wich is more stable than vista, will improve the system resources like processor and ram memory.
I hope this can help you...
regards.
Chris

Putting it simply, the problem is that when I run the "Hoster" software, it will at some stage just simply go blank whilst is it playing a song and the music will stop. I then move the mouse which causes the screen to re-activate and a blanked-out replica of the Hoster screen re-appears over the desktop screen and an error message appears reading "Hoster Application has stopped working", followed by the words " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the progra m and notify you if a solution is available." I then close this window and investigate further but so far Windows has failed to find that solution. On advice received from other thread contributors I've just studied Task Manager during a couple of such failures. On the first occasion, the CPU usage spiked to 36% but there was no real difference in Memory. On the second failure there was no discernible difference in either reading............so there you have it. I appreciate all input but so far it seems I've invested in a "lemon". Apologies for rambling on. Can anyone help further. My second computer is a Pentium 4 desktop running XP. Guess what?? No problems with that one so far, touch wood.
