Also I updraded to 3.319 I did not remove the old version I thoght that would save the registration.

There is certainly a problem executing the hoster program after the upgrade.

My kma files all 7500 are safe and have been moved correctly to the shared documents path at the top of my thread. Last night I used microstudio to host karaoke, very unprofesional but got me through the show, managing my rotation using paper request slips like the old days.

Thanks Paul! This will help us this morning.

Are you now saying your KMA Files are moved and visible in the Songs Database? Or are they visible by your eye, but not in the Songs Database?

Please post here what date is on your 3.319 installation file (not the Hoster .exe that you run for a show). There have been three, and a forth is expected today. It will greatly help us to know what date is on your file (http://www.mtu.com/upgrades/hoster.htm#Versions shows 1/28/08, 2/2/08, or 2/20/08).

OK the files are visible to my eye and microstudio re-imported them into it's DB the moment I ran it (microstudio). I don't know if the song DB is different for hoster, rememebr hoster doesnt actaully run, only the two popups.

I am at work at the moment so can't tell you the version, but I downloaded the update from teh MTU website on Saturday (2 days ago). I will update this thread when I get home.

It's nice to know you guys are on the case.

Paul,

If you are ok with editing the registry, take a look at the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Default\SongFromFolder

What is its value? If it contains "C:\Program Files\..." anywhere in there, this is what Hoster detects when it puts up those messages. You can delete this key, and Hoster will restore it to a value without "C:\Program Files\..." the next time it runs. You may need to rebuild your Songs Database (Tools > Build Songs Database). Make sure it points to the directory that now has your songs (C:\Documents and Settings\...).

I works great, I deleted the reg key and Hoster started right up, I did have to rebuild the song data base though. Thank you thank you thank you.... and if I did not say it Thank you....

Everything is back to normal and running like a champ again.

I am running Win XP
all win updates
I downloaded 3.319 update on feb 23rd

thank you again for the fix.
