Hoster Problem?

[ctyelvis]

Hi all,
I just downloaded the demo of the latest Hoster to check out before making the leap. Everything seemed to install fine and I tried importing the Backstage Eagles CD to my hardrive. No problems so far. But when I qued up a tune from the hardrive to play and then hit "play" the screen goes black & and full window, and I hear this sound that sounds like this repeating "Ka-click, Ka-click, Ka-click, Ka-click, etc." Like it hung up and is in some kinda loop. No music is ever heard and nothing on the screen (computer) but blackness. I have a Dell P4, 3Ghz, with 3gig of ram. and 3 Maxtor 300 gig, 7200 rpm drives installed with a Pioneer DVR-107D DVD/CD writer (current firmware and is CD+G capable. I have copied CD+G cd's with it as well and they run fine (video & audio)in my Karaoke machine).
I have to hit Control, Alt, Delete to close Hoster, to get out of the black screen.
I have tried other CD's Maestro etc. (all store bought originals) no better luck.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
-Chris

The only thing that will cause this is the drive.

What version of the Demo are you using? You can go to the Help Menu\About Hoster to find out.

If it is version 3.303, then go to the Tools Menu\CD/DVD Defaulf drives. Then make sure you have a CHECK in the "Use software Decoding" checkbox. If this is not checked then this is the problem. If it is checked then the drive is the problem.

If you have the 3.310 version, then this is done automatically for your drive and there is no manual checkbox to select. I would also download the demo again to get the 3.310 version and then try importing the songs again.

These files that you have already imported, they are bad so you will need to delete them as they will always play like this. The problem was on the import.

Let us know what happens once you try this.
