I saw that Support (Brian) sent it today, so I assumed that the fix for George's problem was incorporated in whichever 4.09x version was there... also because of what the support ticket implied... MY BAD...

Oh my goodness, i just got back in town from work, checked my email and mtu forum was 10 replies long and a private message, thank you so so much everyone. I have read all of your replies, and i think you guys are really neat. This is truly a great forum. Rikki, dale is correct, in that the link sent to me, was not a fix for my particular situation. I was under the impression that it was as well rikki, and why mtu support sent it to me i haven't a clue, or what it does. I did install it, hope that didn't hurt anything, still seems to play and everything. Also JNS02, yes i allow Hoster to fully boot up. There is...nothing to do on my laptop untill hoster boots up. And that includes the splash screen. If the hoster splash screen doesn't appear, i close and reopen hoster. Gotta have that splash screen. Rikki i will read your personal private message, and tomorrow wed, get back to you. It's wonderful of you guys to help me get my new disc into hoster.
Respectfully Yours, George

You can install Microstudio on 2 computers just like Hoster.

Now, how do i go about getting my second copy of Microstudio? Do i go into my account and copy the link there? Also what other info do i need? And i am using Hosterlite, so i only get 1 copy of Hoster

go to the download link ( Microstudio download ) and download it from there, i don't know about hoster lite it depends what you bought, there is a hosterlite and hosterlite duo,and hoster has 2 versions one where you can install into 2 comp. and the other one was for 4 comp. depends on what you bought, but you can just go to the download link and you can install it from there

George,
Is your Microstudio up to date (version 4.21)? If not what version do you have?
You can go to Support/Microstudio Downloads and get a copy of the installer, but it will only be the current version.
I highly recommend that you SAVE the download instead of clicking on RUN. That way you will have a back-up copy on hand to re-install if necessary at some point. Do this for your Hoster Lite as well.

Hi dale, i do keep a copy of the download for hosterlite on my laptop show machine. But i prefered the older version of microstudio over the last two. I am currently using the "BEST" version of microstudio, an older version, not sure which version it is. I could on my laptop download the latest version of MS however for just this limited purpose to git by. So i go where? what link? to get a copy? Is it possible to have an old version of MS on my studio PC, and to have the newest download on my show lappy? dunno????

Hi George, It's Rikki here... while Dale is away from his computer, find your Microstudio (MS) version by opening Microstudio (MS) - then click on the Help command up on top line - then click on About Microstudio and it will show what version # you have purchased, so we can see if you can download the latest version as a free upgrade, or not. The free upgrade applies to any version of MS that is 4.005 (Released on Dec 3, 2007) or higher. Let us know what version of MS that you have, and if it is 4.005 or higher, then the free download can be found at MTU.com in the Product Area of Microstudio ( Look at the bottom - Green Button "Free Download" - Connect Show Lappy to internet and Download MS 4.21 -the download will give you the option of either Opening or Saving the new download... remembering to save the download to disc or hardrive, so you can retrieve it later if necessary ... By the way, do you have your current MS version that is on your studio pc saved on disc or hardrive? These items will help Dale and the rest of us, to better help YOU...

I'll add to Rick's post first that no it isn't possible to get an older version copy. MTU does not keep those available.
The place to look for the download is on the MTU web site. Click on Support at the top and find Microstudio in the list. Click on Go To button next to Microstudio.
To clarify what Rick said you have to have version 4.000 or higher for a free download. If not then you will need to purchase an upgrade. (I know this may be a show-stopper).

i have the older version ( i think i have 4.06 or 4.08 ) on my mini laptop, the easiest way to find the download was to look on the "announcement" just below the hoster ( thread )forum heading, it will take you to the ms download.. any ms version older than 4.xxxx you have to buy the upgrade..FYI sav's are still garbled..

Riki is correct George.

MTUSUPPORT had about 15 people including George with HosterLite that would not import CDs.

We took a few hours off and created Hoster/HosterLite 4.09E that includes all bug fixes we worked on in 4.10, including fixing the import problem.

Bryan sent George a link to get it. We are NOT downloading this from the web site; only providing it to those who report the problem. We didn't want to go through the full release process including beta testing.

We hid all the new 4.10 features as they aren't ready for all users yet.

George, download the 4.09E in your Support Ticket, saving it to your computer. It installs as HosterLite409e.exe so it does NOT run from your HosterLite desktop icon.

You will need to find it with Windows explorer in the:

C:/Program Files/Micro Technology Unlimited/Hoster folder and double click it to run it. Import some discs and please report back in you Ticket if it is working.

MTUSUPPORT is tracking to insure we fixed the import problem.
