Vista Basic vs Premium 3.315

[sleflar]

Vista may be compliant with the basic version but not premium. You can not run the database from an external hard drive, only the laptops hard drive.
Does anybody else find this to be true? I submitted a supportr ticket a few days ago. However I have had no response from them. Can anybody help?

What do you mean by running the database from the external drive? Do you have Hoster installed on the internal drive or the external? Tell us exactly what you did step by step.

The program is installed on the laptop.

Just replaced stolen laptop with Hp with Vista Home Premium. Purchased a new Hoster Program on Feb 21st. Program installed ok. When running Build Database, it goes through the processing song db counting 35231. When it completes, it tells me, successfully created 0 entry songs.mdb. Tried several times. No go. Then tried putting one KMA file in another directory, went through the process for that file. It worked but will not work trying to load the 35231 files. ?????????????
What to do?
I've tried to uninstall program and reinstall, same problem.

I found one of the problems. It will only work if the KMA files are on the laptop not an external drive. I tried different externals and the same thing.

This is an external Hard Drive, right? Is it USB or Firewire?

500 gig USB

I just set up a new Gateway laptop with Vista Home Premium and am experiencing the same problems trying to link to the song files in the external hard drive. I have used this drive extensively with my other licensed laptop and never experienced an importing problem. It's basically reading the number of song files but not importing the actual data. Internal drive works fine, I just don't have enough storage for 25,000 files. Was there ever any resolution to this? Thanks
