Hoster won't open!

[EmilioM]

This past Fri. and Sat. the 10th & the 11th I did my shows and had no problems. Yesterday the 14th I did maintenance on my computer, ran Norton antivrus, and Tuneup utilities to defrag and clean up unnecessary files, and today I went to start up Hoster and got the window that says Hoster - Convert HDZIP Files, which is normal. I hit the cancel button like I always do and it beeped like normal and normally Hoster starts up after that, but it didn't. I right clicked on Hoster and hit properties and got Error processing file: H:\MTU\HOSTER\songs.mdb, and another saying Disk or Network error (3043). Also just want to say H is my hard drive. I went to My Documents, and Hoster 4.08 isn't there, even though 4.06, 4.05, and 4.03 are there. I tried redownloading 4.08 and installed it, but the same thing happened, then i installed 4.06 and then 3.4, but they won't open either. I have a Gateway GT5034 with Athlon 64x2 dual core running at 2.2Ghz, 2gig memory, NVidia GeForce 7300GS with 512mb memory, 320gig HD with 293 gig allocated to H drive and 65 gig free, and 2 Plextor 755SA DVD drives. HELP! EmilioM.

Sounds like your Tuneup utility delete something needed.
The files have not been in Documents and settings since version 3.321 at least. Look in H:\MTU\Hoster and see if Songs.mdb is there. That is where it is supposed to be.
If it is there and still won't open then it may be corrupt which means you need to delete it and the backup then re-open Hoster which should rebuild it.

I looked under H:\MTU\Hoster and all the songs are under KMA Files folder. Also where is the backup located?

By the way, I've used the Tuneup utility before without any problems. If that's the cause, I'll have to delete it.

Hey Emilio,
Dale wants you to look for the songs.mdb, not your KMA files. According to the information you gave it is supposed to be in your H:\MTU\Hoster folder.

Also have you tried rebuilding your database?

I have a few Microsoft Access Application folders, all which contain the songs, which are named songs, songs_backup, temp, & temp_songs, but none that actually say songs.dbs. As far as rebuilding, don't I have to have Hoster open to rebuild? If so, I can't get Hoster to open.
