This is Hoster Lite Correct?

Yes, the newest version of Hoster lite.

Duh.... forgive my dead brain being up since 2:30AM.

Hoster Lite installs on ONE computer.

After discussing this with MTUSUPPORT, we are sure the problem is your video card drivers are not DirectX 9.0 compliant to show the video as your describe. Go to the manufacturer's web site and see if they have 9.0 capable video drivers before you do anything else.

My apologies, also. I assumed(bad word) Hoster Lite installed on two pc's as does Hoster.

Checked with Sony about the VAIO that I have. The pain in the you-know-what answer was

"Jerry, We do not have the specific information online with us regarding the video and on DirectX which is third party products. You may try installing it however we can not assure you the compatibility." (that was word for word, ugh. Gotta love competant tech support).

After all this hulabaloo, I'm pretty sure that answer means there is no tested compliance between my video chip and DirectX 9.0c.

*sigh*

What now?

Here's a link to the Sony support page. Try plugging in your Notebook model number and see if there are still any drivers available for your model. Looks like quite a few are listed.

Unfortunately for me, three hours of tech support calls and live chats (often at the same time) have yielded nothing for me. The only "supported" updated S3 Savage driver they support is the one on the Recovery CD (that's three years old!). After looking to S3, there is no driver available post-2003 - much earlier than DirectX 9.0.

At this point. Rather than continuing to pull my hair out over this, I'd just as soon ask again for a reset registration code to use the program on my desktop PC (which is MORE than capable). I think even the fine folks at MTU would agree this is excessive work to retain a single license copy.

Or, at least, I hope so.
