Always have had XP on my Show Computer, and until 4.01 never had a bit of problems with Hoster.

Tried to use a few of the new features and Gremlins started rearing their ugly heads. Added clipart to create logo during intermission screen, and having to tweak the resolution was first noticible problem. Then the lyrics were running slow, and had to restart once in a while to sync. Then the computer would freeze and lock up once in a while when playing the first songs of the show.

Added the upgrades as soon as they came along, added more ram to both of my computers, and seemed to be getting better with 4.03. Then 4.04 came out and I have been back and forth to 3.4 a few times when one of these problems arise during show. The one thing that switching back to 3.4 from 4.04 is that I lose any rotation information that is added from the initial starting list, forward. So it shows the initial list, including songs that have already played, and truncates any changes made after the initial list was created.

Also with 4.04 some of the code changed for my Nikkodo songs, and the Title block introduction is garbled, as is the background pictures that show intermittently throughout the Nikkodo Sav selections.

I'm still using 4.04 but probably will be going back to 4.03 if these reoccurring glitches don't improve with 4.05, or maybe soooooner!
