"Add Track Database Search" problem

[ddouglass]

Try using the latest release 4.22 which fixed quite a few problems. I don't think you can back up that far. The difference is the newer releases changed (added to) the header. Version 4.09 will not be able to read them. Additionally the password on the internal list for importing changed as well.

Thanks 'dDouglas' for your reply. It looks like I have no choice but to reinstall version 4.20 for now! As for v4.22 that will cost me $US69.99 ($AU81.00 approx), so it might have to wait for a few weeks and also until I have assessed whether it is worth paying to upgrade at the moment considering that we only use it at home.

Can you tell me; are opinions varied as to the speed with which v4.20 opens, or do most users think it is slower than previous versions? Also, in v4.22 has any improvement been made - I saw no mention of it in the changes/fixes?

Regards,

Colin

Define "far too long" to open. Should open within 5 - 10 seconds at the most and that would depend on computer (processor speed, amount of Ram, other open programs, etc.)
What operating system are you using?
How much Ram on the computer?
When was the last Custom updating you did from Microsoft?
Are you running any other programs at the same time?

Basic computer specs on my last post!

No other programs in use normally, except antivirus.

'Far too long' is upwards of 2 minutes on the PC - not used the program on the laptop yet!

Regular updates done.

If by Regular updates you mean the Automatic ones that is not enough.
You need to go to Windows Updates (in Start menu) and do the Custom updates. The Automatic updates only installs any deemed by Microsoft as critical security updates.

What do you mean by custom updates? I am using Windows Vista and have set it to notify me when udates are available and allow me to choose which ones to install.

When I go to 'Start' > 'Windows Update', I seenothing about 'Custom Updates'. From there I can click a link to check for updates, but when I just did this, I was informed that no updates were available!

Sounds like you have not ever done this. Try going through this check list of things you need to do to run Hoster without problems.
