import difficulty

[mindonstrike]

If Hoster worked fine once it should work fine forever... unless you've got a corrupted file somewhere. The tiniest little file somewhere can screw up everything if it becomes corrupted.
The fact that you upgraded and still have the problem leads me to think it's not a file installed by Hoster, but it is a file Hoster relies upon.

A couple of suggestions:
Check your event viewer and see what the error messages tell you. The mssg will provide a link to microsoft that might give you a clue about that error.

Based on what little info you provided it might be a corrupt driver for your cdrom, reinstall that (and update it if one's available).

Run a windows repair.

Worst case scenario, reinstall Windows and Hoster (and of course all your drivers).
NOTE If you reinstall Windows, Hoster may think it's being installed on a second machine (which you are permitted), which you might have to deal with when you do add a second computer.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for replying. It is so nice to finally get some help. I love MTU products, but, I am not impressed with MTU support. I understand the purpose of the forums, but, sometimes, you may need to just talk to someone one on one. I have replied to one other helper, and I would like to reply to you. I did run a Windows repair, after a major crash. I have cleaned and defragged. I have stayed off the internet, to prevent virus and corruption. My computer is all brand new, built from scratch per Hoster requirements or better. I am going to check into a suggestion about a possible missing dll, and a couple other suggestions. One major question I have, in the worst case scenario, if I have to reinstall Hoster or Windows, am I going to lose what I have already downloaded. As I stated, I have a lot of time invested already, and have not even downloaded have of my discs yet. A side note, I noticed you were from Spokane. That is where I am from. Private message me if you would like. I miss the old place.

before you do anything, transfer (back-up) your kma's to an external hard drive !!!

you wont lose any work you have done.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS Back up to an external drive. Hard drives like anything will go bad sooner or later and murphy's law usually dictates sooner.

If all you do is reinstall then windows will just overwrite itself and everything else will remain.

If you format AND install you will loose everthing.
but don't take chances, use a backup HD.
