Maybe take her back to 4.09d which I know was very stable and no skips reported. Then when you get a chance work on the 4.11 problem.
How big is the C: drive and how much free space is on it?

c: drive had 60gb with 42.2 gb free space and ext. had 300gb with 23.3gb free space left,( all her kma files are in ext. dr ) yeah the 4.10 crashed in the mid. of the song and i got it back up within a few sec. and continued on without any problem..is 3.4 still included in v4xxx, i was just gonna load just in case, just can't find it ..

Sounds like the C: drive is ok. Not sure about the external. Have you tried defragmenting both drives. That would speed up transfer of data.
No 3.4 is no longer in the 4.10 or 4.11. This was a measure done for the early unstable versions of 4.XX that is no longer needed.
Have you run SystemCare or System Mechanic on her laptop? Those are system clean-up programs that will help speed up the computer.

Why are you going back to 4.06 instead of 4.09?
Neither of those programs are going to cause irreperable damage. They allow you to recover any thing they do. These are not just registry cleaners, but fix a number of problems both security and speed robbing. They have both been recommended by MTU and I use them myself on all my critical computers. They do help eliminate or stop things that slowdown the computer and take up unecessary processor time.

if thats the case ill go ahead and try them and i'll install 4.09, the reason i went back to 4.06 was that's was that last one she had on her laptop.

i tried to use SystemCare/Mechanic , downloaded the program, did all the scan etc. and found some stuff that needs fixing, but then i got a msg. " if i need to get it fix i have to get/buy the program. i thought it was free, i didnt wanna buy it since it's not my laptop i was working on, and also i read after the downloading the program, that it was actually a registry cleaner...but anyway i re-load 4.11 and put in about 4 hrs. worth of songs in the playlist ( loading songs every hour ) on auto mode, it all went well till the last 19 min. msg. popped up " Hoster needs to shut down" ( which i think is not that bad, since 19 min. is almost at the very end of a show anyway).. i will try it in man. mode tonight..see if it works without shutting down..

It is free to check, then you have to buy. If she wants to buy one I would recommend the System Mecahnic as it can be installed on three computers for the price instead of one. Maybe you could both go together and buy it, sharing the installa and cost. Yes they both clean up the registry. These are tried and true useful cleaners rather than some of the other garbage that is out there.
Search for System Mechanic 9, go to their web site and you will see that it does a whole lot more than just clean up the registry. It also defragments the registry, backs up the registry, defragments hard drives (better than Windows) and helps delete junk files, cleans up and helps increase internet speed, defragments memory, and a lot more. It is well worth the money.
