I think what Sam is getting at is he saw the same errors you did while selecting diferent sound cards to record with. Since he mentioned Windows custom updates have you done all of them except for the hardware updates? (On time I did the harware updates from Windows custom updates and it caused my sound card to stop working. I had to use system restore to get it working again.)

I did all the updates before I installed 4.06 and it was on a fresh install of the OS. To be honest, I had some problems with 4.06 but they were not the same. They were not bad enough that I could not use it. I would get the Hoster shutdown error for no apparent reason etc. occasionally. I even changed video cards from an ATI Radeon 9800 with 128 mgs of onboard memory to an Nvidia with 256 mgs of on board memory. The Nvidia card was worse that the ATI with less memory. I finally caught on to something Dale said about his screen resolution setting and changed mine and that took care of most all the problems I was having. I was still having problems with slow, slow, slow, slow imports of CDG disks. Not importing to the playlist but to the database. I would revert to 3.40 to do that. Since I installed 4.09d, it has worked flawlessly except for this hoster shutdown while closing the window in search preview before stopping the song. I remember a while back that there was an issue such as this in another area of Hoster and the work around was to hit the stop button first. That was ultimately fixed. I have not listed the specifics of my computer yet but they are as follows:
1. 965 Socket 2.8 Ghertz Intel Processor
2. 2 Gigs of Memory
3. ATI Radeon 9800 AGP Video card w/128Mgs onboard memory
4. External Extigy USB Soundcard
5. Internal Phillips PSA Ultimate Sound Card
6. Onboard AC97 Sound Card
7. 600 Watt Antec Power Supply
8. All updates except hardware on fresh OS Install (XP Pro w/SP3) before instaling Hoster 4.06
9. Made all suggested changes as per MTU
10. EliteGroup P4M800PRO-M Motherboard
11. Plextor PX-850 CD/DVD burner/player
12. System OS on Serial ATA Raid Controler 0 Drive 1 set as IDE
13. System Cloned on Serial ATA Raid Controler 0 Drive 0 set as IDE
14. Two separate IDE Drives for Hoster/Music files
15. Data drives cloned on two more internal drives.
There are a total of 6 drives on this machine. Everything backed up to the max.
With 4.09d I'm now able to import to the database from a CDG in approximately 8 minutes. I imported three disks this morning and timed it. (Awesome) I am very happy with 4.09d and I don't need to preview karaoke songs but I just thought I'd pass along what I thought was a bug. I can't believe no one has had this problem. If that is the case and everyone is using it, it must be something in my system but I don't think so.
