I'll try to get a better video smaller resolution but clearer with sound from me explaining what I am doing.

I will also upload the files that hoster is extracting for you.

Quick question.

How many temp files is Hoster suppose to make?

Here is what I have observed in detail.

1. Clean temp folder (nothing in it)

2. Launch Hoster and get to the default screen (I have one song in my def001.hst file and it is there. It is a HDZIP.

3. There is now a file showing in my temp folder named JET699C.tmp showing 0 bytes.

4. Close hoster and it automatically disappears

I suspect this is normal, but don't know. This is duplicated each time I launch hoster and close it.

Next step

1. Clean Temp folder (nothing in it)

2. I have one song in my play list. I launch it and it plays fine because the TEMP is clear, it is a HDZIP.

3. Stop playing song. Close hoster.

4. Temp now contains these files

auout.zzz (which i can rename to .ZIP and it tests fine)

music.wav (4 seconds of nothing, opens in WMP)

rsn.cdg

rsn.mp3 (this plays in WMP and appears to be a copy of the MP3 in auout.zzz but with the rsn name instead)

I don't know what the last 3 files are for but hoster made them.


I'll try to keep the information coming. Hope this helps.

UPDATE: I was looking at my history of updates from windows update for vista. It appears that I have Vista SP1-RC (service pack 1) installed. It came from windows update. I don't know if this has anything to do with this problem or not. I am just noting the changes to the system in the past week, because I was having zero problems last weekend with hoster before these updates.
