hoster will not run

[wb6bna]

I did that 4 times and still no luck

I am just wondering if you need a cdrom installed in order for Hoster to run??? I removed my cdrom and installed a second battery for more run time!!!!!

I don't think Hoster has to have a Writer installed on the computer. I have used Hoster without out one in the laptop I used to have Hoster on and it worked fine.

Thank you. I can't remember whether I installed the battery prior to using hpster the last time or not. All I know is that it will not run now. I am away from home up in Portland, Or and have going home to Idaho today. I will remkove the extra battery and install the cdrom and see what happens. I guess if all fails I just received anh external hard drive and I will install on it and then clone the disc if it works. Hope I have good luck as I have a Karaoke show to run this evening.. Thanks again and wish me good luck. Alan

For everyone s information. I just returned home to Idaho and re-installed Hoster on my laptop and removed the second battery and it runs very well. I also tried it with and without the cdrom and it works as well. Thanks for any and all info from those members who responded. May be something to remember if same happens to you. Thanks again Alan
