Hoster 502 Install Problem

[SteveD]

I have tried to install all 4 versions of Hoster 502. with the same results. Hoster seems to go through the installation process correctly and then asks me to restart the computer. When you try and start Hoster a black window appears and nothing else, this window looks like the singers lyrics window that you move over to the singers TV.

After this window appears nothing else happens. The Windows task mgr show cpu activity in the processes running screen with hoster.exe using roughly 30% of the processor. I thought it was updating my kma files but you can run this forever and it doesn't ever stop. It does not show Hoster in the running applications window.

I have completed all the Hoster Windows XP recomended changes.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
