4.02 Unmitigated Disaster!

Unbelievable!.It is now 2am and i have been sitting here now for 5hrs trying to get this Software to work error free for any length of time.Now Hoster 4.02 will not even play 1 Song!
I have encountered the following problems.
1. Videos that on pressing play donīt show on screen,however the timer counts down as if it is playing.If however i press Pause then Resume,the video appears.
2.After that i tried one or two Sunfly tracks from the database.On playing them the Lyrics were a couple of seconds behind the music.So i set the Priority level to high which solved the problem with the synchronisation.
3.However,as i opened the Search box and scrolled to bottom of the list Hoster froze for about 2 Mins.I waited then eventually i could close the search box.Upon playing the songs disaster struck.
4.On pressing play the sung changed to CUE and that was that!.No playing nothing now i have to close Hoster over the Task Manager.It will now not play any songs.I will try a reinstall tomorrow.

Use 3.4 then i might hear you say.Well 3.4 starts ok.However all songs report "Track Path is Missing" so i had to delete the list and all the tracks and singers new.Great,good job it was not a show!.Not only that the graphics are not good on 3.4 nor did i buy or want 3.4.Then i could have saved my money and stayed with 3.316.

If i have no luck getting this 4.02 working properly then i for one will be demanding my money back.I am not a Beta tester nor do i wish to become one.I waited and waited because there were so many problems with 4.1.They are fixed now i read,how foolish of me.

If i canīt run a show for several hours glitch free then i donīt need Marquees and split screens and Instabuttons,the songs HAVE to play properly,nothing else!!!!!The singers need them.

By the way for all the beta testers.I run a freshly installed XP SP3 all possible updates,WMP11 on a 1,7Gz Inspiron 6000 from Dell with 1Gb RAM.
I have almost no software running in the background,no Virus scanners nothing.The computer has no other major Software installed.Also as Hoster crashed there was nothing in the task manager to indicate a major drain on resources.CPU and Memory drain was insignificant.

Iīll let you know tomorrow how i get on. :-( Goodnight.
