Plextor drive not on list

[Skybird74]

Sorry, I simply meant I couldn't use it the way everyone else does - i.e. be able to Add to Songlist while playing another song.

I have been using this laptop for over 6 months. The only thing I run during a Show is messageoke which uses very little resources. But even when I don't use it, it doesn't make any difference.

I cleaned this laptop out completely, set everything to factory settings, defragged, updated XP, etc. and have everything turned off (no screensaver or anything running in the background) per the Hoster Manual BEFORE I even installed Hoster almost a year ago. I use an HP external harddrive & very little is on my internal HD. I use this EXCLUSIVELY for Hoster, nothing else. I followed all Hoster instructions to the letter, but I never messed with Virtual Memory.

When I say it locks up - after adding a few songs, it starts running slowly like when you're running out of memory, then Hoster stops - meaning it won't play another song. The ONLY time this ever happens is after Adding several songs. I read a post once that said you can have 2 Hosters running at the same time, so while playing songs from one - you can use the other to pull up other song lists. This works GREAT also. I can run a Show continuously for 6 hours & never have any problems, ONLY after adding several songs from singers' disks. So, as long as I don't ADD songs from a disk, everything works like it's supposed to and has since day 1.
