Unable Open Hoster

[Roy Dennis]

Did you get an instant responce ticket # after submitting your support ticket ?
If not it may be the reply went to your spam folder or you gave a wrong email address.

First try this, open your C\MTU\Hoster folder, and create a new folder within it and name it "mdb backups", then find your songs.mdb and move it to that folder, making sure it is no longer in the original folder then (if your song files are on an external drive make sure it's connected before starting Hoster the first time) see if Hoster opens, it may start rebuilding the database before opening, if not after it opens rebuild the database.
If it still won't open do the same with the singers.mdb database moving it to the new folder then try restarting Hoster.
If you still get no joy copy and paste the files from the backup folder you created back in their original places and try to restore your computer to an earlier time before the problem started. You can usually find this from Programs/Accessories/System tools/System restore.
Let us know how you get on.

I got a ticket #, but still have not rec'd a response from MTU. My email is correct & I don't have a spam folder, I have Junk Mail folder & I get the mail. Just in a different folder. Nothing there either.

Only Explanation is that it is related to Adobe Flash Player update. Mine doesn't just fail to find songs, It is unable to Open Hoster. I have tried uninstalls & installs every way I can think of with no success.

Have you tried as I explained hiding your songs.mdb in another folder ?

[Wayne White]

Yes I did & it didn't help. I have also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player altogether & that didn't help either.

Any chance you can restore your computer back to a point/date where you know it was working ok?

Somehow the last time I restored, I must have shut off periodic restore points, because I only have 2 & they are before and after removing/installing Hoster after I had this problem. I uninstalled Hoster & installed the same version under a different Laptop. I am going to try to load an older version and see if it works.
