Absolutely!!! I have been on the forum before and ranted about the shut downs with 4.22 lite and my dell studio xps/w7. last night i had 4 shut downs. it happens more frquently each week. I just uninstalled it and want to reinstall my old 3.321. I have a freaind who did the same thing with a toshiba w7. he reinstalled 3.321 and has no problems. I still say the most stable combo i have used in the 7 years ive been with hoster is xp and 3.321 period. I am trying to reach bryan after talking to lynn today to get a code that will allow the 3.321 install. if this doesn't worki will sell the dell and try to find a xp used unit. i already have two other older xp's with 3.321 that work great but are slower on the draw, i really had hoped to utilise my i5 4 gig dell for greater speed and to take advantage of the newer hoster upgrades, but not working out. i called dell and there are no trouble spots in the unit and no new updates so go figure???

Ed as long as you have the install file for 3.321 you should be able to install it with the same reg code you are using right now for the 4.32. You do not need a new code.

I had 4.22 and i did use the same code and it was rejected as being the wrong product code. I appreciate the response. I am waiting to hear back from bryan to see why the code didn't take. I am still puzzled as to these shut downs. I either bought a lemon in the dell or there is a dark cloud following me around. Lynn said she is not getting reports of shut downs. Is there anything else to deduce?

As to your question, what version of Hoster and what operating system are you using?
Some information about your computer would help to for diagnosing the problem.

Ihave Hoster 4.0 with window 7

First thing is to do the things listed on this link:

Actually having only 6 shutdowns in 5 months isn't much at all, especially using such an old version. Hoster release is now up to version 4.32 and a lot has been added and fixed since version 4.0.

I just went to windows 7 and have the up to date Hoster program, and last night while doing a show the Hoster program shut down twice, and this is not the first time. Why? Thanks Jim

Since Hoster integrates with a lot of things in the computer and software, that isn't an easy question to answer.
What were you doing at the time it shutdown?
Do you have any other programs open?
What is the speed of your processor and how much Ram do you have?
Did you do all the updates/changes required for Hoster to run correctly?
What else is on the computer that may be running in the background?
Is this an upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista or a new full install?
