replacing my hard drive

[Roy Dennis]

First off if you have a Bucket file there that must be it, you are not seeing the .mbd as you probably have view extensions box ticked not to show.
You can sort this by Clicking on the Tools Tab above the open folder then select "Folder options" from the next window select the "View Tab" then scroll down the list till you see "Hide extensions for known file types" and un-tick this box then press Apply & OK. This won't solve your present problem but it will show the full file name.

To find if you still have your original installation file on your computer try this: assuming your running XP go to Start/Search from the window select "All files and folders" In the top box enter "hoster3" in the bottom box select drive C then press search. It may take a time but if you saved it originally it will find it. If it finds a few select the version your latest one, it should have a setup.exe following the file name.
If you can't find it then I'm afraid you will have to upgrade to a new version as the early versions aren't available for download.

In your original post you said you keep getting an error coming up, just putting your kma files on an external hard drive is unlikely to cure this if the problem is your internal hard drive failing. Probably need to replace that to cure your original problem.

By the way the extension is MDB not MBD.

However if you are only importing one song, you can manually enter the data to get the song imported.

Just an idea when you import your new songs make sure the drive and folder selected is the same where your KMA files are stored.

Hi All,

Thanks so much for all your responses, I think I have made a huge blunder and deleated files I shouldnt have,with regard to importing songs, as mentioned before my hoster program is over 5 years old now so I think it is time for an upgrade.
I am going to purchase the new system, as thank god I am quite busy and havent the time to spend sorting it out.
Thanks again

Happy Christmas

Aidan
