I'd really love to buy a mac and install my xp on it and use that for hoster but looking through the forums I see other people have tried to use windows 7 with a mac and run hoster but didn't have much success with that so I don't know if a mac with xp would work ok or not.
But anyway thanks for the reply and it looks like you have been at this quite a while, (that is using hoster)
I used to correspond with Mad JIm a lot he was sort of a guru as well when it came to hoster, sorry to hear about his passing.
I have been running Hoster on my Dell Latitiude E5500 running Windows 7 ultimate 32bit, with no problems whatsoever. As DDouglas recommended, make sure you apply the necessary changes with Hoster as if you were running VISTA.
FYI:Dell still has a lot of laptops running XP available in the outlet. That is where I purchased my Dell Latitude.
