Problem w/Hoster changing drive drivers

[whits_end]

The laptop is a Dell (don't have it here right now), so model number not available....more importantly, it was PURCHASED from MTU!

I tried the upper/lowerfilters thing before posting to the forum. The tech had me looking at the filters earlier yesterday and thought the problem was in there..but wasn't able to ask the programmer (gone home).

I've tried removing the filters altogether, as described in the fix, as well as having the filters there but having no data in therm...neither has worked. Again, this is only a problem in Hoster (of the drive not showing up)...all other programs access drive without problem.

I even tried a system restore today back to a date when Hoster was working fine...no dice.
