Thanks Skybird, I appreciate the response. I do like to check the manuals but Hoster 321a is no longer available as a demo and my work machine is at another location, so I do not have one available for review.

To clarify my situation, I was NOT able to removed any MTU programs from the old machine. It suddenly acquired "early chipset initialization" and will not boot at all. Myself and several finer geeks tested and worked on it for 2 weeks and decided to burn/bury it with fewest possible kind words.


Clean Install Windows XP Pro
Install Motherboard and Video CDs What kind of "Video CDs" Drivers
Update thru SP3 Yes, WindowsCustom including SP3 + update video driver & computer manufacture's updates. And don't forget IE & WMP (if you're starting all over from scratch). Yep, I forgot WMP, thanks!
Add NetFrame 2.0 Hostser requires .NET 3.0 Thought 321a was 2.0, will check futher
Add Lame
Install Microstudio 4.01 then upgrade to 4.06 (have to load old first, right?
Install Songverter 1.002 then upgrade to 1.10 (again old first, right?
Install Keyright 2010 then upgrade to 2010 (again old first, right?
Install Hoster Video 2219 then upgrade to 321a (old first, right? It's would be better if you didn't have to go back before 3.321.
If you un-installed Hoster on-line (which version?), then you should be able to re-install the same version you had. Registration codes should match. (You said above that it's a "new PC" but also say "reinstall". Or, do you mean that you are moving Hoster from one machine to another?) You have provided hope. As said old pc dead and buried without removal. But MTU knows what reg codes I have paid for and have emailed approval for me to reload so I may try the current versions first to see what happens.

Your suggestions have helped. Thanks so much.
