I would try two things first. Do your Windows Custom updates again to make sure Microsoft hasn't added anything new. And make sure you have the latest firmware update for your CD drive.
If that doesn't help try defragging your drives and last turn-off anything you don't need running during a show.

Hi There,
I have done all of these things and it did not help, I not sure what to do next.

I had this problem in the past and the firmware upgrade for my CD drive corrected the issue. I would double check to be sure you have the latest version of firmware. Also, you mentioned that you did "a couple" of restores. If the first restore did not help did you revert back to the state you were in and then try to restore to an earlier time? How far back did you have to go to get back to an operational state? It's possible that you have undone your Hoster upgrade. If it were me I would follow Dale's advice and go through each step, firmware upgrade, Microsoft updates, Hoster upgrade and verify that your system is where you think it is. Then if you still have the problem you can rule out those issues.

you have to find out the brand of your cd/dvd drive, and go to their site
if not see if updating you cd/dvd drive works to do this:

go to
1. my computer
2. click on view syst. info
3.click on hardware tab
4. click on device mgr.
5. click on the plus sign ( + ) of the cd/dvd drive
6. righ click on the cd/ dvd drive
7. click on properties
8. click on driver tab
9. click on " update driver "
10. click on " install from the list or specifics then click next..

hope this helps...

Look at Tools/Default Drive in Hoster and that will tell you what make and model drive you have. The number after the drive will be the firmware version currently installed.
With this information find the manufacturer's web site and look for firmware downloads to compare with what you have. If they have a higher number (newer version) available download it and install it (according to their instructions).
