chartbuster

[billyo]

just got a call from a kj friend of mine who just got hoster lite and she just loaded ( imported ) songs from chartbuster ( new cdg's ) and she said that songs are out of sync and skipping, anyone has an idea of why , i dont have hoster lite so i couldnt give her any answer..and also she has xp..and i just replaced the old drive to 250gb and 2g of memory

The only difference between the lite and the full version is the songbook creation and that it can only be installed on one computer. The rest is all the same, so see you can help her.
Is this a laptop or desktop type of computer?
Did she do all the steps in the XP setup before installing (link is in the manual if she didn't)?
Her best bet would be to join the Forums so we can ask her questions and give advice directly.

it's a laptop, i'm not sure if she did all the necessary steps before she installed hoster lite or did all the updates, i just recently installed a new hhd ( first one crashed )and i had to start from scratched ,and upgraded the memory on it, her husband will be stopping by my house tonight with the laptop. and the cdg's and see if i can figure it out..thanks !!!

i' kinda fixed the hicups and out of sync problem on hoster lite on my friends laptop, and i also have the 3.4 installed, when i search a song on hoster lite, songs will come up, but when searching on 3.4 i get an error " no song matched, what you entered in the search for field, make new entry"..tried rebuilding the database , it went fine, then 0 entry, tried changing the path i got an error " hoster has to shut down" i did all the recommended changes and updates ( custom ) and also she has IE8 on it, wondering if that was the problem..

Billyo, I moved this to the thread you started on this problem. Dale

Did the Hosterlite come with the 3.4 or did you add it?
A couple of people have reported trying IE8 and had some problems with it, so until MTU has a chance to try it with Hoster I would recommend backing down to IE7. I don't know if that would effect the database or not but I wouldn't think so.
It sounds like Vista is hiding the songs from 3.4. What is the location of the KMA files?
Also make sure that the KMA files are not Read Only. If they are then 4.08 will work but 3.4 won't.

it came with hosterlite, and i did a shortcut on the desktop, kma files are on ext. drive, she has xp, i tried adding a song on 3.4 ( as a singers disc), and it played, hosterlite 4.8 all the songs came up, but wont show up on 3.4, i thought it would...still trying to figure this out ( work on this till 3am and i'm trying to get it done for they have a show tonight ) ( FYI: i'm not getting paid for this the husband helps me set up on big venues)

They both use the same Songs database. Have you tried rebuilding in the Hosterlite?
Open the 3.4 and go to rebuild, look at the path on the bottom of the box. Is it C:\MTU\Hoster? Check the one in the 4.08 and see if it is the same.

in 3.4 its in c:\mtu\hoster ,and in 4.08 its in c:\mtu\hosterlite\songs.mdb
i rebuilt the hosterlite "o"entry ,( i opened up the ext. hhd to make sure she has some songs in it & she doesnt have a lot of songs in the hhd yet), i guessed she got frustrated when she had all the out of sync and hicups problems
