Is there a way to save the singers column and key column without having to re do it ????????
Thanks

Are your Chords saved from the File menu or by using the singers list?

If the chords are saved under the file menu then using File/New will not overwrite your existing, if you just started a new blank playlist then loaded about 10 random tracks via the search dialog it would help to see if the problem was to do with your saved playlists.

If your unsure before you try the above you could go to the file menu and select "Save As" give it a file name you could recognize and save it. When you want that playlist returned go to File/Open and select the file and you have it back.

Or if you store your chords via the singers database which is accessed from the singers button in the main dialog they would still be available and be unaffected by entering a few random songs via the search dialog.

But I think you need to start from a blank playlist to test for this problem.

Thank You Roy
My Singers and chord columns are saved by the File/Menu....I am good there .I can recall my songlist with my information intact.I suppose there could be potentially a corrupted song????? Although my songlist has been consistent since my netbook days.I took the codecs out and since that it "SEEMS" like its behaving better.....but at this point I will have to wait.Hoster has been running for a while and hasent crashed thus far.

Also my graphics are internal also......

Roy....Hoster is still Crashing
if I save the files I have created that have my "SINGERS" and "KEY" and playlist information in them to my desktop.........then uninstall hoster 5.08...............reload it and place the saved "SINGERS" and "KEY" and playlist files back in the C:MTU folder will I lose my "SINGERS" and "KEY" and playlist or will it be intact..????
At this point I might have to reload my Alienware laptop and start from scratch...........
Thanks for your help.......

What you suggest would safeguard your playlists.
If you have the room on a spare hard drive or usb stick (About 100MB should cover it) you could save the whole Hoster folder which contains lots of other recoverable data should you find you need to replace later, your playlist files are normally saved in here unless you changed the path.

That Hoster folder is in the C/MTU folder.

I don't think a normal uninstall removes the Hoster folder but saving it before uninstalling would be a safeguard.

As you say it only started crashing since getting your new Alienware computer, How did you get your files and playlist into it from your old computer ?
When you did this do the files all follow the same path as previously ?

For example if your songs were on the C\ drive on the old computer and in a particular folder do they follow exactly the same file path on the new computer ?

I started from scratch and loaded everything in.....and yes it followed the same path....nothing has changed as far as Hoster is concerned other than I took advantage of the last update offered and "I THINK" now that I recall is when I started having trouble.........(NOT 100 percent sure tho)

What files if you know would I have to save to keep my singers and key information.......????
Thanks

They are releasing a new update probably in the next 24 hours 5.09, you might be eligible for this if you want to see if that solves your problem.
