Changing Computers, KMH not being recognized

When you attach the external hard drive on the new computer does it register the external drive as having the same drive letter as it does on your existing system ?

If not try this first to set it the same: http://www.mtu.com/faq-test.php?article=4
It’s the same for Windows 7.


If it does and you have not yet installed Hoster on your new computer try this:

First create a new folder on your C/drive named MTU (unless it already contains this folder) exactly as it shows on your existing system, then copy the complete Hoster folder from your good working system and paste it into the new MTU folder. This should copy all the existing data (except the Instabuttons which are stored in the registry so can’t be copied) ready for installing Hoster on the new computer and will be an exact replica of existing.

Now install Hoster on the new Computer but before starting Hoster up for the first time be sure to have the external hard drive connected, and as stated earlier showing as the same drive path as previouse computer, example if it was drive E on old computer it must register as drive E on this computer before starting Hoster.

Now if this install is the same version of Hoster as you had on the other computer it should just start up as normal, if it is an upgraded install it will first go through and rebuild the singers and songs.mdb’s before opening so if you see the dialog rebuilding first don’t panic and stop it or you will spoil the process, once it is finished it should open as normal and all your file paths will be as before.
