there were a couple of versions listed that it will not work on.

Don't understand your meaning. Hoster 3.321 DOES run AS ABSOLUTELY BEST AS POSSIBLE with Vista. There will be NO MORE support for Vista as it currently exists in the marketplace. If 3.321 is not acceptable, return to 3.317 which is stable... and which requires disabling the UAC bit to install and run Hoster at all.

and see if this will fix it without turning the UAC off. If I am reading it right then it should. Look under "Scenario 3: Configure User Account Control" at the section for "Change the elevation prompt behavior" Not sure if everyone will be able to do perform this as it is changing Group Policies, but it is worth a shot.
This is the ULTIMATE FIX. It basically disables all Windows Vista "super security" that prevents you from using your computer. However, MTU has been downright insulted by even one of our Beta Testers for using/recommending this technique.

What we have done in 3.321 WILL FORCE VISTA TO DISPLAY this "Approval" message EVERY TIME you run Hoster. However, your Microsoft Vista security is fully functional for Vista and all other programs while Hoster runs. That's... your tradeoff. If you HATE VISTA like we do, disable the UAC bit and be done with it.

If it was me, i apologize.
i read it, and thought i could learn somthing, so i tried it.
it was never meant to be an insult to MTU or anyone else.
those popups were very anoying for every program i tried to open.
not just hoster but excel, media player, jukebox, ect,
it just seemed like another general fix for vista that would help all users,
for all programs.
so again I apologize if i have offened you. Bob

Your Welcome Bob!

Admin, if they only do the section recommended then all they are turning off is the elevation verification. All the rest of the "Super Security" is still active.

Admin, if it was me and I think it was, I apologize. Things said in the early days of us working with Vista were mainly from lack of information as to how bad it really was. This fix does limit the security but not completely disable it. Hopefully they will fix it where you can selectively turn off the verification for individual programs, but I really doubt they will.
