Crashing again when loading customers disc

[G-Force]

I misunderstood the question. I will try that out tomorrow night and see if it works. I am sure once again the girl will bring that messed up disc. I would be willing to risk a crash just to see what happens...Hell I 'll make a big production of it and paly it off with the crowd. " Okay everybody...I have been given the majic computer crashing disc. Lets see if it kills my computer again..."

Here are my specs:

Compaq Presario Laptop 3.0 ghz 1.0g ram
windows xp fully updated
60 gig internal hd
250 gig WD USB HD
plextor USB DVD drive from MTU

I use winamp in the background for my bumper music, if that helps.

Ok Here is my problem but no crashes.

Last night during my show a customer gave me his disc (Sweet Georga Brown) to load while another singer was singing. As the disc was loading the audio started skipping on the current singer, I had to hit the cancel button to stop the load and also had to reset the current singers song because the words and audio didn't jive together. I also tried to load one of my New sound choice disc and still had the problem. This is the first time I have had this problem since I updated from Hoster 2.219 Software. This problem started after upgrading to Hoster 3.110. HELP! I have many singers that bring there own disc so I need to problem cleared up...
Thanks

Did this happen the FIRST time you tried to load a Song from a Singer's Disc?

Because, if it is, you may want to try to READ a CDG Trk into the Playlist before your Show starts, and see if all subsequent Songs, from Singer's Discs, load OK.

I know it is not a fix, but it may be a way to resolve the problem, for now.

I did try to load CDG tracks (here at home)and it works fine however that was without a singer. So in other words I can import CDG'S without audio problems by itself and no singer. It seems like this program can't do to many functions at once, I know its not my computer cause I never had this problem before I upgraded. I feel like deleting 3.110 and reinstalling the 2.219 software

Adding a CDG at home is NOT the same as doing it before your Show starts.

At your Show, your Computer is turned "ON" and stays "ON" until your Show is over.

There have always been people Posting problems with Hoster since Hoster was 1st released. Sometimes these problems are unique to a Computer. Sometimes, people just like an older version...Like 2.219.

And, sometimes we just have to find a way to make a particular version work in order to take advantage of all the NEW features that are programmed in upgrades.

"Problems" aren't easy to resolve when they cannot be duplicated in a step-by-step procedure where a problem appears after following said procedure.

Over the years, there have been MANY POSTINGS expressing concerns that Hoster didn't act right when either starting a Show or IMPORTING at home, which could mean that the 1st Song didn't Sweep right or the 1st read of a Singer's CDG didn't read right or, during IMPORTING, the 1st CDG didn't read correctly, only to find out that, after the PLAYING, READING, and IMPORTING of the 1st Song, Hoster performed perfectly from that point on.

These are my SHOW Computer Specs:
Windows XP Professional (OEM 5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2
Processor AuthenticAMD SEMPRON 2500+
Total Physical Memory – 512MB DDR333 RAM
Motherboard – MSI KT4-V
Video – Matrox P750 Triple Head – 64MB Memory
DirectX Version – 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Audio – Audigy 2 - FULL Acceleration
Using Hoster Audio Buffer A Setting
HD - 160GB ATA 100 7200RPM Western Digital on IDE 1
DVD-Plextor (PX-716A) – Firmware 1.08 - Internal on IDE 2
HD – 250GB ATA 100 7200RPM Western Digital on IDE 2

It is in no way as fast as your Computer, but I do not have any problems Crashing, NO AUDIO DROPS, Problems with Reading a CDG, and problems with Importing.

And, v3.110 has been installed and in use since v3.110 was released.

So, if you want to keep using 3.110, I am suggesting that you turn down the Volume on your MIXER, Start the PLAY of a Song, and READ a CDG into your PLAYLIST after you get set-up and your Computer is turned "ON" prior to starting your SHOW, to see if that helps.
