To accomodate this, once again they are having to go back to old stable MTU code.
Videos will run in Vista but with some restrictions (thanks for connecting Bill!)
1. There will be nothing on the preview screen while a video is playing.
2. On the TV the lyrics will show with no Singer Name Display and no Marquee.
It is their only option and will be added Monday.
Just trying to help.

Laddie,
Let me give you an example of why 4.04's release is taking longer than expected.
Since I posted this MTU has put the old player in 4.04 then they took it back out because one of the Vista testers had success that they did not expect. Microsoft can't tell them how to make Vista behave, they have to stummble upon these successes. Shame on Microsoft.
If you can, imagine having to take your car engine apart then put it back together, every day. This is not a normal program devlopment procedure.
MTU's guys have been a very busy bunch.
I know this doesn't get you Hoster 4.04 any faster but at least you are in the loop.
