Re: hoster program is closing

First thing is to do the things listed on this link:
http://www.mtu.com/upgrades/hoster/windows7-changes.htm

Actually having only 6 shutdowns in 5 months isn't much at all, especially using such an old version. Hoster release is now up to version 4.32 and a lot has been added and fixed since version 4.0.

Re: hoster program is closing

I just went to windows 7 and have the up to date Hoster program, and last night while doing a show the Hoster program shut down twice, and this is not the first time. Why? Thanks Jim

Re: hoster program is closing

Since Hoster integrates with a lot of things in the computer and software, that isn't an easy question to answer.
What were you doing at the time it shutdown?
Do you have any other programs open?
What is the speed of your processor and how much Ram do you have?
Did you do all the updates/changes required for Hoster to run correctly?
What else is on the computer that may be running in the background?
Is this an upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista or a new full install?

Re: hoster program is closing

ddouglass, to answer your ?'s I had just finished a song, it seems to shut down after a song has finished, thank goodness.
1. maybe the song search not sure, but when I had windows XP did not have this problem.
2. The speed of the processor and ram, I don't believe is the problem like I said had no problem with XP. Not sure what the speed and ram is till I set up tomorrow.
3. All is updated. Put in all the updates when I went to windows 7.
4. Nothing was running in the back ground. outside of song search.
5. Windows 7 was a full install.
I have my computer mirrored with two 640gb hard drives.

Re: hoster program is closing

Is the mirror program running while you are running Hoster? If so then this is what I was referring to for a program running in the background.
If you changed this computer from XP to Windows 7 then yes the processor speed and Ram amount could be significant. What is good enough for XP is not necessarily enough for Win 7.
Are you running Background Audio?

No audio in the background, I will have to check the the ram and process speed it may have to be bumped up.
Thanks Jim
I will keep you informed.
