Thanks for the very prompt response Roy … and for confirming WMP 11 compatibility for XP.

The Hoster 5.0 info on MTU’s website below is contradictory.

Here’s the piece in question – copied from the above link.

Computer Requirements
1. Video Hoster runs on Windows XP Home, Pro or Mediacenter with SP3, Vista (32 and 64-bits) with SR1, or Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit). XP and Vista require .NET free download, and the latest upgrades to DirectX and Windows Media Player (v12).

Yes it's a bit missleading. This is printed in the new manual
"QuoteYou need Version 9 or higher for XP, Version 11 for Vista or Version 12 for Windows 7. Hoster uses WMP to display the graphics/lyrics/video screens to play still and motion video graphics formats supported by WMP, and to display the Visualization gyrating images while the Background Audio Player is playing"
