Dummy didn't save it anywhere, downloaded straight to Hoster... Beside, my gig is near my home and my laptop is already set up there...

everytime you do and upgrade you should always choose save jiust incase something like this happened..i guessed you're stucked with 4.22 now, before you can go back to v4.21 you have to removed v4.22, or if you install 4.21w/o removing v4.22 it will say " already in 2 comp "

Thanks Billy ... I feel better already !!! lol

What Billy didn't tell you is that MTU only keeps the latest version available. This is why you Save the downloads and why you don't upgrade right before a show.
I hope it worked all right for your show.

Well Fellas,

As you may know, I'm new at this (Hoster) and I didn't realize that I couldn't back up to the prior version. I WILL NOT download an upgrade prior to a show again. Rest assured none of this will happen to me again...

During my show tonight the music "stuttered" about 6-8 times during different songs and Hoster shut down four times. The stuttering was only very briefly, so I kept on going. Per normal, Hoster stopped between songs.

I had taken my old system (disc/player) with me, so I had a plan "B"...

I have a show tomorrow night also (Saturday) so I guess I'll see what happens with 4.22 then... After that, I don't have anything until Thursday.

Maybe by then, the Hoster Fairy will bring me a fix!

BIllyo also had the stuttering problem after first install. Try re-installing it again.
Also, check the Microsoft Custom Updates and do those too. MTU upgraded their compiler program and now use the latest WMP and DirectX. WHich means we also have to upgrade to those.

i read the requirements for Hoster to run right, i didnt think that i needed to change ( updates) wmp & directx since i'm still running xp and never had audio/ out of sync problems, i thought those changes are only for vista and w7.( read change requirements # 4 )but anyway all is good.

if you read the new thread i posted " v4.22 problems fixed " it might help you going without a problem tonight, i guessed when MTU upgraded to the latest wmp and directx it did something to the playback offset, i never had audio problem till i upgraded to v4.22 i had mine set to -0.5 but when i did all the changes before i re-installed v4.22 i changed the playback offset to -0.4..my suggestion would be, make sure to choose the correct version of wmp, mine was v11 (sp2)
