Starting Over Need Help

[d413771]

When transfering cdg's into Hoster 3.316 I messed up big Time and need referance to remove about 173 cdg's (delete out) and start over from scratch

[mindonstrike]

173 cdg's is quite a bit to delete and reimport are you sure there isn't something we (forum members) can do to help you get around having to do that.? Please tell us more of what the problem is.

Otherwise just delete the KMA's and the file songs.mdb which (for 3.316 )is located at C:\program files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Databases and you'll be starting from scratch.

I wished but I tried to pull up some songs (several) that did not come up. So for me it's either edit every song or start over ! My mother board crashed and the way I had my KMA's backed up was not correct I guess. Thanx

were these kma's you recovered from the version that deleted them ??

to back up your kma's all you need to do is get and external or internal drive and go to the folder where your kma's are stored, hit edit/select all/ copy then go make a new folder in your external back up drive then right mouse click and hit paste.

nothing more nothing less.



DO NOT DELETE YOUR KMA'S !!

I just thought if you told us the dilema we could help you avoid starting from scratch.

Then in that case do as Mindonstrike says, delete the KMA files and delete the Songs.mdb and Songs_Backup.mdb files and that will clear all entries in Hoster. I still recommend highly that you upgrade to 3.321. All the problems with disappearing files have been fixed and this is a very stable version for XP or Vista.

How are they not coming up? You put in a bookid and get nothing? You search the database for a song and it comes up "not found"?

If they worked at one time and you backed them up, they should still be perfectly usuable.

Maybe you just need to rebuild the database so Hoster knows where everything is again.

Just hate to see you put in a bunch of extra work if it's not necessary.

First step is upgrade to 3.321...it's free. Under Help click on Check for Updates and download the update from the website it opens.
After you have loaded that then you can work on your KMA files. Now the question is how did you mess up? If it is just a case of where you were saving them then you don't need to delete them throwing all that time you spent importing away.
