Have Bucket, but no Songs

[Ernie]

I just downloaded and installed the new Hoster Upgrade. When I went to Explore, Micro Technology Unlimited, Hoster, I then opened up Databases, and only Bucket was there.... What happened to songs? I tried to reinstall, and again the same thing. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Rebuild your database.

In order to make Hoster more Vista compliant, songs.mdb as well as any file Hoster writes to (marksongs.txt error logs etc.) and any KMA's you had in there, were moved to a new spot where Vista won't try to hide them from users. Hoster doesn't write to the bucket.mdb, only reads it is why it didn't move.
Sorry I don't remember the exact path but you should find it in the manual or you can do a search for it on your computer.

Hello. I am using Vista Ultimate. I was using 3.318 and downloaded 3.319. I attempted to build the data base and no songs were found. I tried a search using ".kma" as my search word and could not find any of my 17000 kma files. I have tried a system restore and search again but did not find any Kma's. I think the same thing happen to Ernie. I have a old backup of my songs but I would rather find my most recent selections. Thanks.

Ernie,
I didn't realize you were using Vista. Vista hides files from programs (like Hoster) that were not made on the computer it is installed on. I don't have Vista but this is from a previous post:

"Open the folder in Windows Explorer they told you was the location of the file. Press the Compatability Files button up top. The files should appear."

I Hope This Helps!

Hello. Thanks for the suggestion. I am not seeing a compatability selection of any type. I also went to Microsoft and got no help from their suggestions. And I tried using a shadow copy of the song folder to restore the kma's and it tried but then came up with a error that the files did not exist.

Ermie,
I wish I could be more help but I don't use Vista. There are members of this forum that do use Vista. I feel certain somebody will be able to help you soon. I believe that Vista is restricting your ability to access these files (for your own good in Mircosofts line of thinking), I just don't know how to get around it. Try working with the folder options.

Sorry I wasn't more help.
