I am using an old HP lap top with Windows XP, and a newer HP desk top as my back up. I am installing my KMA files on a new Maxtor 500 GB external hard drive. Installation went well on both. I downloaded the KMA files using the desk top since the lap top doesn't have adaquate memory to make a clean transfer. My problem is when I plugged in the lap top too the external hard drive all went well for a little while then all of a sudden I couldn't get the search screen to appear. I could see it on the tool bar as being open but couldn't get it to show. when I would minimize Holster main screen the search screen on the tool bar would disappear and wouldn't reappear until I maxamized the Holster main screen. Another thing that must be noted is that when the search screen was open and before there was a problem I typed in "*" to get a list of all songs in the data base to make sure they were accessable. Nothing i do including turning off the lap top and back on changes this. All help appreciated.
