4.0 Hoster Don't work after 4.2 install

[ddouglass]

Joe is it ALL of your songs that won't play now or is it still just the Zip files?
As Jim said instead of ranting and raving if you will calmly answer the questions maybe we can get to the bottom of this. You are the only one having this particular problem. Others are having zip problems but their's error out in the conversion showing corrupted files.
Have you tried a restore to take you back to a point before all of this started? This or a total reloading of the computer may be the only options but not yet.

Hi ddouglass

What do you mean by a total reloading.

[ddouglass]

Windows.

[Joe Nieves]

You mean total format and os install?

[ddouglass]

Yes Joe, but not until everything else has been tried. I know what a pain it is but sometimes it becomes the only option left. Have you tried to Restore to before your upgrade to 4.0 or 4.01 which ever was the first one you did?

[Joe Nieves]

Thank you for yuor responce.

Yes I did and didn't work no matter what I do I can't get 4.2 out of my system to do a clean install of 4.0 and then upgrade to 4.1.

After removing Hoster 4.0 4.1 4.2 using control panal and then removing MTU and Hoster folders and cleaning up the registry.

It still when installing 4.0 comes up with 4.2 with all the features.

This can only happen if MTU put a hidden folder with files in my system and is not cooperating with me to solve my problem to inable me to do a clean install of 4.1 like I had before with no problem using my program and song files.

Not A peep from MTU in any way to help me resolve this issue I am suffering with this problem since last thursday.

My computer has 4 gig mem 2.6 duo core 200 gig 7200 rpm drv and only 3 months old Xp pro os.

What else would i be missing to run Hoster properly like it use to.

Before I installed Hoster 4.2 and made a mess?

Hey Joe,
Thank you for a detailed report. There is some confusion going on but Dale, you and me will figure it out. We want to know what's going on as much as you do. You're the only one with this problem so we can't get information on it from anybody else but you.

In your report you said:

It still when installing 4.0 comes up with 4.2 with all the features.

4.0 and 4.02 have the same features.

After installing 4.0, click on the "Help" menu then click on "About Hoster" and tell us what the version number is.

The other thing you can do is keep restoring to an earlier restore point until you have a version of Hoster that works. You will loose your Hoster 4 settings (singer database and the such) so save the C:\MTU folder on a jump drive before you start restorring.

Jim

Hoster does not have a hidden folder any where and as said previously all of the features have been in the program from 4.0. You may not have set any of those up so didn't see them when you had 4.0 installed before.
When you cleaned the registry did you remove the Hoster references from both Local Machine and from Current User? If not that is why some of the items would be retained.

Lets back track a bit. Do your CD imported files play? We know the zip imported ones won't so don't need to ask that again.

Have you tried re-importing a small batch of your zip files from the originals that you have (not the back up KMA versions)? If not try that and lets see if they will play.
