Hoster 4.0.2.0 HDZip Problem

[Hawkman]

Hi, first time user of the help forum. Here is my probem.
I down loaded 4.0.2.0 and at the start up of Hoster a window popped up giving me the option to convert HDZip Files. I checked that I had a back up file & ran the program. 90% of the way through it would hang up and give me the following message.
File not found: c\users\public\music\mtu\songs\TOM-169-1.kma
please make sure the volume is mounted and then click OK to retry this file
click cancel to bypass this file .
When I click OK or Cancel nothing happens the message is frozen. I have to go to task manager to get out of the window. I have reinstalled with the same results.
I am running XP SP3-IE7 2gb of memory. With the word public in the message I thought I may have copied the file from my Vista onto the XP so I deleted the file and downloaded an earlier version of it that wasn't transferred from vista. Still no luck

Any Suggestion--Hawkman

Try going to 3.4 and rebuild the database using the current location. I am guess that would be C:\MTU\KMA Files.If you haven't looked for 3.4 it is located in C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster. The file is called Hoster34.exe.

Dale, thanks so much for the information.
It appears to be working now with the changes. Can you tell me what they meant when the message indicated to MAKE SURE THE VOLUME IS MOUNTED?


When your using the songverter and converting zip files what format should I be putting them into now?

HDBIN or what Hoster converts them to, HDMP3G. If you choose HDMP3G, all fo your zip files will be the ones in this format. Might help keep things consistant.

I also clicked the message saying for "advanced seach features" to work properly, I needed to unzip my zipped files. While I could still find the files with a search, when I clicked play with a singer standing there ready to start, I got a message saying "Bad zip file" and had to scramble to find either another version of that song if I had duplicates or find them another song.

Yes, I am running the notorious Windows Vista. Had to copy from back up hard drive and start over. From now on until I hear it is safe, I'll do without the advanced search features since song/artist searches work without unzipping,
