HOSTER locks on CUE

[sskydiverr]

I have my KMA folder on an external hard drive in a usb 2.0 port.

I have an HP Pavillion dx8000 laptop with xp pro and 2 gig ram.

When I start the program and try to play the first song, it locks on CUE for up to 5 minutes. Restarting the program helps at times, buy usually, no.

This is new since 4.03.

Are you trying to play the first song immediately after opening or waiting until the short Hoster video (15-20 seconds) plays thru to initialize the setup? This does not show in the preview on this version, but shows on the Show Display if you have it set to "On."

Hi
I let it fully load and play the video

What type of file is it that you are trying to play first?

did your drive letter change ??

[sskydiverr]

My drive letter did not change.

I forgot to mention that after the 5 minutes it works fine.

It does not stick on mp3-g files using the KJ-Oke button, it sticks on the KMA files pulled in with the search option .

What type of KMA file are they?
Does only the first one hang or do all of them have extended cue time?
Have you tried defragging both drives?

when i first installed 4.0 mine did the same thing, it lagged and i thought something was wrong. but after a few minutes it was back to normal. it never did it again.

What type? I am importing mp3g files. Whatever they are called by Hoster.

I will reduce the folder sizes and try again.

Muchas Gracias

How many files are we talking about? It sounds like windows is trying to index the files on the drive and just needs a couple of minutes to get the job done. Do you know what the speed of the external is? Spindle speed and read/write speed could be the culprit here if you have a huge number of files on the external.
