Yes - updated and changed Vista.
Yes - older version tried and failed (3312). Tried 3321 and it loaded all the way up to contacting MTU for registering - thay's where it said I already had it loaded on two computers (which I don't).
Bought the upgrade (4.06) and tried to load it on Vista but knew it wouldn't because the older version would not load so it could be upgraded.
Thanks.
BTW - Vista laptop has ATI Radeon X1250 video adapter.

At this point, I really want the XP laptop to work with Hoster 4.06 as it is my show machine. The Vista was only to be a backup/test machine.
If it doesn't work (4.06), I'm out the upgrade money and I go back to version 3321 (which worked flawlessly).

In case you are not aware you have a copy of version 3.321 already on your computer that is installed along with 4.06. Look in C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster and find the file named Hoster34.exe. Create a shortcut to it on your desktop.
Double click on the shortcut and you are running version 3.4 (only change was for the registration code) which is actually version 3.321.
Try that and see if it will work so you won't lose shows until you get your problems with 4.06 worked out.

Tried what you said - there is no "hoster34.exe". The only .exe file is Hoster version 3.3.2.1 which is 2.04 Mb in size- I removed (system restore) the 4.06 when it didn't work by restoring to an earlier time.
If I understand you correctly, you are saying to install 4.06 and then go look for the "hoster34.exe" file inside that folder, correct?

As far as the changes to the Vista (Toshiba) laptop, I did all of them, too.
I have already submitted a ticket to MTU yesterday and I await their response.
