Hoster Stopped Working

[ddouglass]

The differences for Windows 7 have been added to that page. Look again.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the steps (i.e: TURN OFF USER ACCESS CONTROL (UAC)) apply to Vista but do not apply to Win 7 unless I'm missing something.

Not having Windows 7 myself it is hard to tell anyone what to do but I found this page where there is some info on UAC for windows 7. http://www.onecomputerguy.com/windows7/windows7_uac.htm

UAC turned off does apply to Windows 7. As Roy has pointed out there are additional settings but MTU is still recommending to turn it completely off.

I didn't mean UAC specifically, I was using it as an example of how the step by step processes layed out for Vista don't work for Win 7. If you use Win 7 and you follow the steps, at some point the windows don't match the verbage stated on the instructions. Does that make sense?

I have the same problem. Especially when i start Hoster for the first time it would stop working for a couple of times. After which it would work very well but would crash again in an hour or so. I've noticed that Hoster would crash about 3 or 4 times for each 4hr show apart from crashing 3 times when i first open hoster. I did all recommendations as stated. I'm using Windows 7 with 4 gigs ram and no other programs running in the background. In Vista Hoster worked flawlessly after all the glitches were worked out.

Then there must be something running in the background that is causing this. This does not mean a program you are running. It will not show in Task Manager as an application but will be in the process list.
The following is a good link to help tweak your system for optimum performance:

They were supposed to correct it to add and differences in how to do steps for Windows 7. I guess it didn't get done yet. So as far as figuring out the difference for now you may have to resort to the Help section in Windows 7 or the internet.

Gotcha. Thanks Dale!
