You will need to reset your Hoster to default settings (Version 4 will have a control to do this, but I don't think 3.321 had this iuncluded). The way to do this is by deleting settings in the registry. Here are the steps to follow.

WARNING! DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Be sure you follow this exactly. If you delete the wrong Registry Keys, Windows on your computer could be damaged, requiring it to be re-installed.

Fix: Delete Hoster's Persistence Registry Keys.

1. Left click the Start Menu and click Run.
2. Type in regedit and click OK or Open.
3. Go to the very top of the Registry Editor. It you already see the Registry Keys expanded below, skip this step and go to the next step. Click the + beside My Computer.
4. Click the + Beside HKEY_CURRENT_USER
5. Click the + beside SOFTWARE
6. Click the + beside Micro Technology Unlimited
7. Click the + beside Hoster
8. Click Default to select it. WARNING! Be VERY careful to have this exact location selected. If not and you proceed, you could damage your Windows installation, requiring it to be re-installed to fix it. BE VERY CAREFUL! With Default selected, press the Delete Key Click Yes when it asks you if you are sure.
9. Click the X in the Top Right corner to close the Registry Editor.
10. Open Hoster. It will be as if you started from scratch.
