hoster reinstall issues after windows recovery

[rontoo]

HELP! I recently had to run windows recovery on my hard drive (C). Here is the problem. I still have Hoster and Microstudio on my machine because they were installed on another internal hard drive (F). Hoster and Microstudio won't run without reinstalling them. But Windows is not putting them on the add and remove programs list. My plan is to copy the folder "songs" from F: microstudio to desktop (C) then reformat (F) then reinstall Hoster and retrieve the songs folder from desktop on (C) paste it in microstudio on (F) anr rebuild the songs database and songbook files. I realy want to avoid reimporting over 300 disks. Do you think this will work ? Do you foresee any problems?

what version of hoster are you running ?

if you have a back up of your files, you wont have to re-import

[rontoo]

it is Hoster 2.215 and what do you mean by backup

[Beavis]

what do you have imported ??

[rontoo]

I have about 5,500 KMA files and while I have all of the disks. It would be a lot of trouble to load them again, also I was reading some other posts and I am now wondering if I can upgrade to the newest version without reinstalling 2.215 and still retain the songs file as it is right now.

[Beavis]

drag and drop them (your kma's) to another hard drive !!!!

you can even network them to another computer !

you should have done this long ago !

the one thing we talk about the most here is backing up !

[Beavis]

you can and should upgrade but wait until the next version 3.3 ?.

[rontoo]

Will I be able to get 3.3 for the upgrade price without reinstalling 2.215 first?

[Beavis]

yes

[rontoo]

Thanks Beavis. I have moved the files already and will get that upgrade today.

[rontoo]

Now I am wondering about upgrading Microstudio from 2.609 to 2.612 at the same time. What will I have to do?

[Beavis]

i dont have microstudio but i would wait for the next release of hoster do not upgrade to 3.3

there is an import bug.

[rontoo]

Thanks for the heads up! I will reinstall 2.215, it is good enough for now, and wait .

[rontoo]

Thanks again. The reinstall went well, my KMA's are back where they belong, and I will wait for the next release to upgrade. You were very helpful!

[Beavis]

your welcome

Is this "inport bug" the reason I cannot rip ANY CDG's with Hoster 3.3
Under "Import Tracks" I only have the choice of "Import CD Tracts" or "Import Hard Drive Files" if I click on "Import CD tracts" The system LOCKS UP & I have to go to Task Manager to close it.
I have read the Manual, Read posts, & for over a week I have been trying to get CDGs into a hard drive. At this point I feel like I just flushed $199.00 down the toilet!!!!!

RELAX

do you have a prior version ?? if not im sure MTU will give you a download link to 3.120, it works fine.

or you could wait for the fix for this version, im sure there on it and it wont be long.

NO I don't have an earlier version. Any Idea on time frame for a fix??

i havent seen admin post here in a while, they may be hard at work on it.

RELAX Well I have RELAXED about as long as I think is necessary without even a reply!!! Support at MTU gets NO response. I see no response on this forum. It is like they have taken my $199.00 & left. Why are they allowed to Market a product that is defective. It is false advertising. I now have a software that is 100% WORTHLESS
