Clicking & No Graphics From Show CDG

[P Stephen]

What could be the problem. Have updated everything. But when I try to play a song from a cdg with hoster, it just Clicks and No Graphics. I'm setting up a friends computer. Toshiba with Vista. DVD-Ram Matshita UJ-850s ata device. It works for everything else. He just purchased Hoster. But he will have to run the prior version, cause 4.4 keeps freezing. Hoster 3.4 runs great on this computer with the exception of playing a customers cdg. Any help Yall? Thanks

People are having problems with 4.04 on Vista, but 4.03 seems to be working OK. I just installed 4.03 on my Vista & everything is working, including importing from a CDG to the Playlist while a song is playing. Right now 4.04 is working good with XP.

Test the DVD drive with several different disks. Also check the settings. It is possible that it is just importing audio only.

Had you imported a CDG from this same drive before with a previous version of Hoster? If not, it may not even support CDGs, even though it says it does. I have the same problem with a Matshita & there are no updates available on-line for mine. So, I just use my ext.Plextor with my Vista machine.

Install 4.03 on Vista. Many people are having problems with 4.04 on Vista. But 4.04 works well on XP.

I have Matshita UJ-851S - I spent hours on-line searching & there are NO updates for this drive.

I stated before that there are no drivers available for Matshita. This was based on my previous search of a couple months ago. I just did another search, and "Driver Detective" claims to have Matshita-specific drivers. I don't know if this is true or not, but may be worth checking out.

Billo - please note that my response was for P Stephen who was having trouble with his Matshita drive not showing the graphics after uploading a CDG. My answer was only regarding Matshita since I had the same problem.
