This morning, tried to add a few new songs and got several error messages, but the most frequent and common is an error 3301 "invalid password" for the buckets.db

This applies to both 4.02 and 3.4, so I have had to remove my hard drive and replace it with the clone that worked last week.

What's causing this error? Never seen it before.

Go to C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Databases and delete Bucket.mdb from there. This is what is causing your error and the new version of Bucket is stored in C:\MTU\Hoster. Because of all the moving and changing of file locations Hoster looks in all the locations the files have been in to be sure it gets one somewhere.

Thanks...I'll try that tomorrow and let you know. I did a global search and found only one bucket.db, however.

For tonight's show, we'll use the backup hard drive with the old version of Hoster. That bailed us out last weekend, so I know it's safe & secure.

Keep up the good work...

I was having this same problem as well as a couple others that I have been reading in the forums. I did everything that everyone suggested and could not fix my problems. Finally I uninstalled Hoster completely. Went in to C:\Program Files\Micro Technologies Unlimited and deleted the Hoster folder. I also deleted the the MTU folder in C:\. Re-installed Hoster 4.02, restarted computer, opened Hoster (it automatically did a build songs database). Everything now works great. It took a while but I LIKE IT!!

Hope this helps others to correct some problems

Only thing I can add is if you store your KMA files in C:\MTU\KMA Files then don't delete that folder. Best bet would be to delete C:\MTU\Hoster folder in that case.

How is that going to work? If 4.02 is an upgrade don't you have to have the prior version in the computer for it to load. I don't want to delete the files untill I know for sure I will be able to reload 4.02 and not cause any other problems.

4.02 ia an upgrade because of bug fixes that were made. When you install or reinstall 4.02, the setup program creates all of the files it needs to run.

If you bought the upgrade then yes you will have to re-install the prior version first before you re-install 4.02

Yes, in order to upgrade you must have a prior version in your computer. If you don't, then you must purchase 4.02. And if you don't have a prior version already in your computer, then there would be nothing there to delete. So, what do you mean "reload 4.02", if you didn't have it in the first place? And you never want to just delete any program, you should always use the "uninstall" feature.

Slingshot - sorry, I didn't see that you already answered & re-installed, before I wrote what I did above. Glad everything is working for you!
