HELP!!! SYSTEM CRASHES.....EVERY Night

[MTUSUPPORT]

This has to be something in your computer. I have never had another customer tell me this. Beavis, and MikeDombroski use this software all the time, and they have been for over 2 years each. Neither have ever had it do this, that I am aware of.

There are also many more clients who use this software very heavily without any problems. I would look more into your computer, and if it still happens, you might have to reformat the system to see if this will fix it.

It could be the computer is having a problem with auto updating. Make sure anything that auto updates is turned off. Norton programs.....windows up dates.....spyware....ect. antivirus could possibly be in the mix?????

ihave never had hoster lock up on me !

i like to reformat (once a year) every now and then.


theres nothing like a fresh computer.

i use hoster 6 nights a week and i only have had it freeze while loadin a singers disk but it has never crashed usally just have to close hoster and restart it but never have to reboot pc what i do is just import all my singers disk during my dance set in between each rotation so that way if something happens then it dont happen when someone is singin mtu is close to releasin 3.1 and that should take care of everyone.

the last two sows now have been ok. I have not loaded a dics into the system though during either one of the shows. It's could be the disc loading maybe that is doing it? Could be coincidence too I suppose. How can I get a copy of the upgrade and trust loading a disc should someone bring one in. Two peple weren't happy last night because I didn't want to take a chance with a show that was going well and a full house!!
I have the plextor 716 burner and as I said all upgrades have been made. The new version available? I and leary of crashing again with an imported disc. Suggestions?

when the update comes out download it and then try loadin some disks at home before your shows that way u will know if there is still a prob before u try to load singers disk at show

It Has To Be Computer, I Use Hoster 4 to 6 times a week my laptop is the bare min required for hoster, the only problem i hav is once in a while loading a song from a singers disc. even then hoster shuts down and i just reopen it and keep on playing. Bob

hi there, i have two laptops and one home machine all using hoster. my first laptop has been freezing for about 6 months, you never know where or when in the show but ouch !. the other 2 are fine, i have used hoster for 2 years for 3 to 4 shows a week. Recently to remove the problem i paid to have the coputer reformated and a new version of windows xp pro installed. Last night fri i downloaded and installed the latest version of hoster and copied my songs 4500 from my backup hard drive (which i use to reload all machines) , and hey presto it kept freezing in the show where my mate was working for me, so i don't think its windows, hoster or drives as i do not tell people that i can load their discs,
We are as we speak adding windows 2000 installed with option as to which system to run on and going to try that out to see if the laptop will work better with that, failing that i am going to purchase a cool mat which the laptop sits on and contains 3or4 cooling fans to see if heat is an issue,
will keep you posted.
