I have tried system restore a few times but I can't get it back. I did have some music backed up on an external hard drive that I have tried to put in but it comes up error on some songs I have rebuilt the data base so many times nothing seems to work right. Did I loose all my music when I removed the program? Can You help me get things working right again? I'm using windows xp oh I have even defragged my c drive. Thank You , djcharli  |
When you first ran Hoster 3.319, were you told that your songs had to be moved? If so, they should have been moved to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\MTU\Songs. Right after the move, you should have been informed that your Songs Database needed to be rebuilt. As long as you pressed "OK" for all of the prompts, your Songs Database should have been rebuilt just fine.
I just took the following steps:
- Uninstalled Hoster 3.319
- Cleared out my Hoster settings in the registry (I don't suggest you do this unless you are very comfortable with registry editing)
- Installed Hoster 3.318
- Added some songs to C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Songs
- Built the Songs Database using 3.318
- Closed Hoster 3.318
- Installed Hoster 3.319 (using the "Upgrade" option)
- Opened Hoster 3.319
- At this point, Hoster 3.319 told me that it had to move my song files -- I pressed "OK"
- After the move, it informed me that my Songs Database had to be rebuilt -- Again, I pressed "OK"
- After all was said and done, all of my songs were available in the new location using Hoster 3.319
Does your system have a
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music folder? If so, was a new folder called "MTU" created under that folder? And does this MTU folder contain a "Songs" folder? This is where your files should have been moved to. You can get to this folder by opening the "Shared Documents\Shared Music" item in Windows Explorer.
