Hoster crashing

That Hoster folder is in the C/MTU folder.

I don't think a normal uninstall removes the Hoster folder but saving it before uninstalling would be a safeguard.

As you say it only started crashing since getting your new Alienware computer, How did you get your files and playlist into it from your old computer ?
When you did this do the files all follow the same path as previously ?

For example if your songs were on the C\ drive on the old computer and in a particular folder do they follow exactly the same file path on the new computer ?

I started from scratch and loaded everything in.....and yes it followed the same path....nothing has changed as far as Hoster is concerned other than I took advantage of the last update offered and "I THINK" now that I recall is when I started having trouble.........(NOT 100 percent sure tho)

What files if you know would I have to save to keep my singers and key information.......????
Thanks

They are releasing a new update probably in the next 24 hours 5.09, you might be eligible for this if you want to see if that solves your problem.

Download Hoster 5.09

Hello
I downloaded 5.09 through the uninstall/upgrade process.The program loaded without problems.The only thing is it shows as version 5.08.I did "NOT" clear the settings...Is this the way it should load??????
Thanks

Try installling it again from the link above, use upgrade. When Hoster opens you should see the splash screen saying 5.09.

I installed mine via Hoster Help/Check for updates after starting Hoster.
It shows on mine from the Help/about Hoster as 5.09.
If you have 5.09 you should also see these extra options from the Help tab. Extras are: Performance changes, Ask the community, visit us on facebook.
Also from the tools menu there would be an option for "Hoster data folder".
If your not seeing those extra items then you still have 5.08.

when I try to upgrade from the link on forums it takes me to login and wants me to pay................

ok this is getting frustrating ....am I to assume I have to pay for the 5.09 version of Hoster as I cant download it without paying..............I ran all my songs through a competitors karaoke software with no issues at all.This leads me to believe in my circumstance Hoster is faulty.....
so what is my answer please........and also why would I pay for the upgrade if the 5.08 version is bad.................
