Re: MS For Windows 7 64 Bit

Unfortunately the majority including MTU cannot write correctly yet.

Dale, yeah I feel for you. I don't understand how mine can write, but we talked about this before. I contacted Bryan on checking mine out , and he asked if I had a program, I forget which one it was, and I told him I didn't. He was thinking that maybe that particular program was enabling me to be able to write, but when I told him I didn't, that was the last time I heard from him. I'm still open to doing a remote, if it will help all my fellow MTU friends.

Re: MS For Windows 7 64 Bit

Our Hoster & Microstudio IMPORT and DVD Drive Detector code functions work perfectly.

The problem is in the DVD DEFAULT DRIVE detector for the WRITE function with the code we have been shipping for years. It won't work with the 64-bit "virtual drives mapping" all 64-bit Win OS use. What you see - and as I recall EmilioM also sees this - is an @ where the drive letter should be. It will work anyway because the drive identification version and model number can be selected, even if you have multiple drives.

We have been integrating our IMPORT function DVD Drive Detector code into Microstudio, and integrating our new WRITE function code with this. However, our CDG "encryptor" code generated errors, and the created CDG RW codes have graphic "flecks". THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO US, so we won't release it as it would damage our good reputation.

We can try to come up with a stop-gap product that would include our older WRITE code. I think (will know tomorrow) that we can remove the @ symbol, and show 1, 2, 3, 4 for drives instead of the drive letters. This is a minor trade-off.

We had been stuck on hold for about 2 weeks, but this approach may be acceptable and fast for us to release. I'll talk to Engineering tomorrow.

If you have 2 optical drives, it can fail.

We can try to come up with a stop-gap product that would include our older WRITE code, forcing MS to only run on a system with a SINGLE OPTICAL DRIVE, and use our perfect IMPORT function code that detects the drive.

We had been stuck on hold for about 2 weeks, but this approach may be acceptable for us to release. We'd add code that detects if more than one optical drive is present, and if so require ony one to be attached to the computer. I'll talk to Engineering tomorrow.
Admin., On my new computer, I do indeed have only 1 optical drive. Thanx for the info, and thanx for working so diligently to put out a superior product.

I changed my post after talking with Bryan. We can accept multiple drives, and their description and model# make them unique (unless 2 are identical). Thus, clicking any one of several will select it for WRITING.

Re: MS For Windows 7 64 Bit

I'm trying to figure out by reading all of the posts that I can if Hoster will run on Windows 7 64 bit system. I am in dire need of a new laptop and all I can find is Windows 7 64 bit systems. I even called Dell and they could not help me.
I spoke with MTU Online tech support and was advised that Hoster ran well on Windows 7 32 bit, however I can not find one.
The last post I saw was that it was very close to happening, but I don't want to invest in a new pc if it won't work.
Any info you have would be appreciated.
