Hoster program shuts down every 5 minutes

Hawkman and wb6bna,
Go to this MTU web page and follow the instructions on it:

This should clear up your shutdowns. Obviously from your statements you have not updated your Windows in a long time. If it doesn't stop them it will definately reduce them and then we can narrow down your exact problem.

Thank you. I have updated my xp except for sp3. Everytime I install sp3 my computer will not restart. As I said in my early post I just reformatted my laptop and completely reinstall all including the updates. Will try your fix. Thanks Alan

there are some steps to update to sp3 that you must do in order for it to be installed wihout having a problem, i had that problem( i had the bllue screen 2x trying to update sp3 ) and i stayed away from it, i have sp2 still and i dont have any problems running hoster.just make sure you have all the custom updates , and if youre running vista make sure you do all the recommended changes..

Thank you. I know. I have had the same prob on my desktop and had to clone it back from my 3rd hd. Thanks again.. Alan
