Vista & XP Upgrade Questions

2 Questions
I've been reading these post and was wondering.
My new laptop for home is a Vista and my older Hoster program freezes when I click on a song. Hoster is 3.321 as I just upgraded from 3.316. I did all the suggestion that MTU told me to do to the Vista machine and Hoster still stops working when I click on a song. It goes to"CUE" and that's it.
The latest email from MTU tells me to use 3.316 and it should work, but MTU also now suggest to use 3.321a or 4.008. I can't find 3.315 or 3.321a on the web site. I see Hoster 4.008 and if I buy it, do I buy just the upgrade as I am a current Hoster user? I get a little confused as which one I have or need to get.

But on my laptop that I use out has XP and Hoster 3.312 which works just fine. So, I was wondering if I order and install the Hoster 4.008 on the Vista machine, will Hoster 4.008 work ok on my XP too?
I was wondering how do I do a search for a song using my XP & Hoster 3.312. For years I keep 2 programs open, Hoster & Kjpro. I also us an external hard drive with my XP machine if that matters.
Sorry, I guess it was more than 2 question, Hum.
Thanks

If you recently downloaded 3.321 you actually got 3.321a. With the exception of this download MTU only keeps the latest version on the site to be downloaded. This is why when you download you need to save the setup file to a safe place.
Did you do everything listed at this link?

If you are wanting to upgrade to 4.08 then yes you only need to buy the upgrade since you are already a current user.

Yes 4.08 will work on your XP machine. In fact all MTU programs work best on XP. Be sure to check the computer requirements for both machines to make sure you meet the minimums before you buy the upgrade.
Also be sure to go through the list at this link for your XP computer.

All Hoster programs have a Search Button/window to look up your imported songs in the database. Read the manual on this function.
