Did your registry have errors before the updates? I'm asking, because maybe the updates made no difference if they existed before?

My habbit is to run the registery checker after installing any updates (or any program for that matter) and correct the errors that come up. I have found a corrected registery = a happy computer. I run the checker at least once a week (sometimes several times just to be sure because an IT person told me about disk defrag needs to be run more than once as not all the errors as caught the first time).

I don't have a definitive answer as to what may have caused the problems you mentioned above.

Do you have all your songs on an external HD by chance?

The reason I ask is because my library is on a second "internal" HD and that might be the difference between you experiencing errors and I am not.

I remember several years ago (before I was a Beta Tester) when I had my library on an external HD connected via Fire Wire, occasionally I would get errors because the connection wasn't the best it could have been. Errors would crop up from time to time. I would unplug and replug and the errors would go away for the rest of the show. Let me add that I was using a HP with Windows XP Home at the time and Hoster was the only Program that I was running.

Wish I could be of more help.
