New Version Problems

[cartunesdj]

I had a gig tonight and was plagued with a number of problems using the latest version of Hoster.

The first thing I noticed was a very bad lag. When putting in the song number, normally it shows the name of the song right away but not tonight. It took around 5 to 10 seconds before I could tab down to enter the singers name.

I noticed that during this time, the program became unresponsive and the mouse pointer would disappear anytime it was over the program. Everything else in my system seemed to be fine. It was only Hoster that was having issues.

Opening the search dialog box and entering a song name would have the same results...only a much longer pause with the mouse pointer turning to an hourglass.

It seems like anytime the program had to access the hard-drive it did this.

Also, while a singer was singing, I tried to add a track from another singers CD. I got a fatal error Windows dialog box that popped up over Hoster asking if I wanted to report it to Microsoft. Since the current song continued to play, I did nothing until it was done. I then clicked the 'don't send' button. The dialog box and Hoster both closed immediately.

I restarted Hoster and was only able to add tracks from the singers disc while no songs were playing.

It was a very frustrating and upsetting night. I've been using Hoster for quite awhile now without anything like this happening.

Any ideas what could be happening?

By the way, all Microsoft updates had been done (except SP3), and the drive was completely defragmented earlier this week.

Also, I checked task manager while Hoster was running and the cpu load and memory looked normal.

Whatever is happening, I need to have it fixed a.s.a.p. (before the next gig).
