I now seem to have solved this problem buy switching from windows vista aero to windows vista basic. I'm going to test songs all day today to see if this is consistant. The cut off preview window display was fixed as well by switching to vista basic instead of vista aero
crossing my fingers this permenately fixed my problem

Hey James,
It sounds like you had two issues going on.

1. using net framework 3.5

2. running in aero mode

Hoster 4.05 denfinatly will not run correctly under .Net Framework 3.5 on XP for sure. If 3.5 won't run Hoster 4 on XP, it won't run on vista either I'm sure. I don't use Vista but I remember hearing that you have to cut off any bacground programs, run in basic mode and set your desktop to windows standard (I think). Bacically cut out all backgraound activity.

Thanks again for helping with a great find. I feel certain since net framework 3.5 is out of you machine, you will find the settings that make Hoster 4.05 run correctly for you.

Jim
