Not Responding... Oh CRAP!
I used Hoster for a dance on Saturday.
Everything was fine. I tried starting it up yesterday and the splash screen appeared, the main window appeared, the small 2nd screen appeared but then nothing... it just sits there... and says not responding in the title bar. I tried reinstalling over the existing installation and nothing happened... can I uninstall and reinstall without loosing everything? I have a backup but it is older than i would like to admit. I also dont think i have changed much in the few days since it was working I have a gig tomorrow... help! |

Re: Not Responding... Oh CRAP!
When you say you tried installing over existing (Nothing Happened)
How did you try doing it ? Was this while Hoster was open ? Have you got the original Hostersetup.exe file. ? Or how are you starting the installation ?

I have the original hostersetup.exe file. Ran that... hoping that it may overwrite a bad file or something. No such luck. I have not downloaded the newest version that just came out. I will try that too. |

Re: Not Responding... Oh CRAP!
What Im trying to get at, You say (Ran that... hoping that it may overwrite a bad file or something.
No such luck.) Did it complete all the installation steps including Send to MTU part and still not start Hoster or did it not complete? Did you see a 1706 error notice and press ignore, if so did the install complete after that Or not ? If it completes the installation but still wont open Hoster try this. Find your Hoster data folder. It is normally in a hidden folder at C:\\ProgramData\\mtu.com\\Hoster (You can try copy & pasting this addess into the browser but change the double backslash for single slashes.) If you cant find the ProgramData path in Windows 10 you can select to show hidden files and folders under the view tab in explorer. If you open the Hoster folder find the Songs.mdb right click on it and rename it Something like Songsold.mdb close the Hoster folder then see if hoster opens. If it does you may have to rebuild the database. I think that is the most likely problem that the database is corrupted so re installing another version wouldnt help.

I just tried renaming the songs.mdb. When I start hoster, I can see where it created a new songs.mdb but the program still freezes. I then tried singers.mdb. That didnt work either... |

Re: Not Responding... Oh CRAP!
Something I did notice...I *THINK* in the rotation column, I had 2 entries, Dance Music, and Love Songs....
Now there is only Dance Music, and the songs for love songs are listed as unavailable. (see screenshot) |

Re: Not Responding... Oh CRAP! - SOLVED
SOLVED!
It was a corrupt history file. I deleted the history files, restarted hoster, and everything worked fine. Thanks Roy for the help! |

Re: Not Responding... Oh CRAP!
Thanks for letting us know.
When you say History file I presume you are referring to the playlists files that have an .hst extension ?
