trouble with hoster and laptop

[bobcox- with the Lord]

is your burner CDG compatable. what brand of burner do you have.
sounds like it is not copying properly.

I went through the process you gave me and I still cant get anything but clicks and no words.

I think I might be beating my head against a brick wall.

I will keep trying.

I know this is a pretty basic question but I don't think we have yet established the answer.
Does your audio and video graphics work OK in any other progs on your Vista laptop?
If so what progs?

I can listen to music and watch dvd's or short movie clips downloaded off my camera.

Another question.
Is your desktop also running Vista?
It might be useful to know what's different (or the same) about your 2 systems.

This is a very strange problem. Are you logged in as administrator on the machine? How much ram does it have? Does your Graphics Video card have 32MB or more of RAM and support Direct-X 9.0 or higher? Just some things to look at. I may be off base as usual. The graphics card info is a requirement to run hoster. I am no expert, but I believe direct-x has control of both audio and video, so if it is the wrong version it might be the culprit. Again, I could be wrong, but I would check to see which version is on the laptop. It seems like it should be 9.0 or greater with vista.

can you hook that external drive up to your desktop and have hoster play from it. (Make sure you change the path so hoster plays from external drive only)
and see if those files play.


could you tell us what is the size of one of the files,

DirectX 9.0 is required for both Vista and XP.
