Not A Hoster problem But......

[Beavis]

ok

because i have had problems with my desktop not rebooting while the mybook drive was connected to my computer, it would just keep rebooting over and over. the same thing happened with my seagate external.

Instead of rebooting with the ext. drive connected. First, just Shut Down, then unplug the external drive before rebooting. Then plug in the ext. drive after your system has finished rebooting. Sometimes the machine will look at all drives first searching for the boot order. If it isn't plugged in, then it won't look there, and the machine will boot up normally without any "hiccups".

But I have tried it 1000 ways, I think i need admin to rerelease my coppies and junk a couple of puters, maybe this is why they call them puters, cause they tend to puter out at the wrong time.

If it still doesn't boot up sithout the "mybook drive" connected, then yes you're having a "puter" problem. You could have any one of a number of problems, which takes time to go through them one by one. Admin really only has the time to help you with "Hoster" problems, unless this is an MTU computer you're having problems with.

When I select the Hoster icon on the desktop, Hoster starts. I get the singers and preview screen and that's all. The desktop shows except for the 2 screens. Hoster is in the toolbar on the bottom.
When I right click on the Hoster tab in the toolbar and select maximixe everything is normal.
I uninstalled Hoster and reinstalled it and the samething happens.
How can I fix this?

Jim, hopefully Dale will read & respond to your questions. He is also a Beta tester with a better understanding of these kinds of problems.

Right click the desktop icon, go to properties, find the line labeled Run,
change it to normal window, instead of minimized. Should be good to go.

That did it. I just learned something new.

Thanks Laddie,

You beat me to it. I am currently on vacation in Eureka Springs, Arkansas sitting out the rain from Gustav in a cottage. Sure has ruined our plans.
