I am not so worried about the instabuttons as I created a special folder to pick those songs from.

Right now I am on another computer. My wife is at the computer with the problem. She is manually adding all the songs to the singers database. She would hang me high if I screw that up now.

I know it states in those instructions that you could lose your singers database but I'm sure that is wrong.
You may lose things like times singer sang that song and perhaps dates related to singer but not the actual singers list.

You will lose the instabuttons and settings like in the show display if you have a picture showing for the intermission view all the fade out and fade in controls and things like that will all have to be set again.

To be on the safe side you could backup the whole of the Hoster folder, If you open Hoster Tools menu, select "Hoster data folder" close Hoster but leave the datafolder open. Now you want to go back to the folder containing these files so in your address bar click on "mtu.com" you should then see a "Hoster" folder if you can save a copy of that somewhere safe that contains the singers.mdb songs.mdb and a whole lot of recoverable data, it should also have your playlist .HST files unless you changed that with the save as function. Most of the important files are stored in that Hoster folder and you can copy back individual items anytime you may have a problem.
