Report Hoster 5.01 Problems - Upgrade to 5.02

[schwarztot]

When I start Hoster, I am getting the following warning:

The processor speed of your computer is 0.78GHz.
To safely use the advanced features of Hoster, it is recommended
that you have at least 1.50GHz speed. Currently, Key Change may
drop audio, lyrics may be out of sync, videos may not play or may
drop audio, or Hoster may even CRASH.

I am currently running hoster on a pentium 1.73 ghz dell laptop. Any reason I should be getting this error and should I be concerned?

Thanks,
Travis

Just for more information, I ran a benchmark test on my laptop which came in at 1.723 mhz.

Thanks,

The only thing I can think of is if you have some settings for energy saveing mode activated usually when operating from battery.

Mine (A Dell laptop, too) did this just a few weeks ago. It appeared the adaptor cord was bad, as I was getting the black screen before startup that was telling me to hit F1 to ignore the warning that stated the cord was not delivering full voltage, or something like that.
I haven't been getting the warning lately, and I at the same time have NOT been getting the .78 mHZ warning either.

Also, I have heard of some of those older Dell's that tend to run at lower speed for unknown reasons, and there is a program (that I use too but can't remember the name) that forces the laptop to run at full speed, = 2.00 mHZ.

i don't think that has something to do with Hoster 5.01, i have an old Dell pc as a matter of fact it's what i am using now, and i am or i was getting the same msg,and i don't have Hoster 5.01, inside these pc if you open it, there is a nickel cell battery the size of a quarter, you can replace that which i did and the problem went away, you can get those in Radio Shack or Wallgreens for about $2.00.
