ADMIN POST: Click here to download a small "batch" executable file to run that makes your drive re-appear.

Billy,
I installed the 4.04 demo on my newest machine last week and got the same result. I did a system restore and all was fine. I have been reported this to MTU. This does not happen with the full program, only the demo and it will be fixed.

You may be glad to hear this:

got the support ticket #,and it says open this link.... tried it couldn't open the link, copy and paste still the same " no match found "

[madjim- with the Lord]

Billy,
Start a new ticket and include the ticket number you have now if you can't get the link to work.

Be careful not to leave a space at the end of the link when you copy and paste it.

FYI this is not just a Hoster Demo Problem, it happens with other software as well, thats why MS published a fix for it.

Hey Laddie,
I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Could you explain a little more please.

Thanks

Applications besides MTU applications have caused this problem..For example when I loaded Sound forge 9 the same thing happened. It has happened with so many applications that Microsoft published a fix on there support site.
According to the programmers that work with me its because of changes in the applications to make the app. compatible with vista.

Laddie,
I understand now. I use Sound Forge 8 now. I've used Sound Forge since version 3 was relesed on Floppy discs. Like Hoster it's an awesome program.

The few times I lost my cd burner working with the Hoster 4 betas, a system restore always put me back to good.

Wow, I sound like "The System Restore Kid" today. I always try everything else before I use System Restore. In these two cases (net framwork 3.5 and losing the cd burner) I found that using System Restore was the fastest, most definate way to solve the porblem. I very seldomly do a System Restore.

Thanks for your input Laddie.

Jim
