Is there a solution?

I have this same problem and have been watching for a solution on this thread. Since I have SP3, IE7 MP 11, 1 GB ram, and every custom update available installed, I have to assume the problem is caused by MS Office also being installed. I don't really want to start uninstalling random products from this PC hoping the problem will go away. (This is a home system not a KJ system) If I 'know' what needs to be unistalled I'll try that. However, if this problem is caused by an Office product being installed, a work-around in the Hoster code should be possible.
Has then been any further inventigation into this scenario?
In the mean time I can only use Hoster 3.4

It is not a problem of having Office installed. It was stated that Office has also shown this error.
Have you all done the free upgrade to 4.01 and did it help?
Try having task manager open when you try to open Hoster and see how much memory is in use before and as you try to open it. Watch the processor too and see what percentage of it is being used at the time.

Memory Problem Error 1004

I have 4.01 installed.
I also downloaded and installed it twice as other people had tried that with some success.

Task manager shows no jump in memory when Hoster starts. CPU maxes out though. The computer is a DELL Dimension 2400 pentium 4 2.66 GHZ with 1GB memory.

I have also tried disabling all other software that may be running, including the AVAST antivirus.

Smile You're not alone !

When i installed H4.00 on my desk pc which has xp, ie7, media 11 i get
unknown (4001) followed by not enough memory and report to microsoft.

I then installed H4.01 but the problem remains the same.

Although H4.01 did execute on my laptop (xp), the display has a problem when a song is played and i get errors saying hoster can only play songs in 44.1Khz.

I have been using H3.4 as i just don't seem to be able to fix the problem.

I have no office programs installed !

Do you have SP3 and the rest of the Custom Updates from Microsoft installed? This is not the AUto updates or Express Updates from the Microsoft web site. Those types of updates will only download and install the updates Microsoft deems as "Critcal Updates"

This is correct. Hoster will not play files that were recorded in anything other than 44.1KHz. This error message was added so you would know that those files originally recorded in any other setting will cause extreme problems including crashing Hoster so they have prevented those files from playing.

Hoster 4.0 Error 1004 Possibile Solution

I have A Shuttle SN41G2 and I could Never get this to open up without the 1004 Error. So I Downloaded Belarc Advisory, All this program does is take a snapshot of your installed Components and let's you know if anything is not installed Correctly. Even though I had all the updates and fixes, It told me I had 2 Security Fixes that failed to install Properly. So I trid to install just the fixes and couldn't so I wiped everything clean and started over. When I had everything back on the PC except the Music, I ran Belarc again and Everything was up to date and running fine, No errors. I put hoster back on my Shuttle and it worked fine, So I put music back on my PC and imported without a problem. Not saying it will work for everyone but find out if all the updates are installed correctly and not just on the PC.

The 1004 error has been a real mess to solve. The best I am aware of is it involves using the Access with and two different Databases; Songs and Singers.

We have gone through the code several times, and have corrected some DB related problems each time... that Visual Studio .NET does not report as problems!

We found and fixed more in 4.02. We have used Access DB in Hoster since 2001, and never saw this problem before adding the Singers.mdb.

We are testing 4.02 Beta 5 tonight.

As was said above, if your Windows isn't right, you "MAY" have problems. Not trying to shift the blame, but point out the fact that if anything is off base in Windows, it makes it very hard for Hoster 4.x to run correctly.

We have pushed the limits and are using all the latest and greatest technology available to us as APP developers.

Yesterday we found a Microsoft bug that was giving our Beta Testers a lot of headaches when using dual-displays... out of sync lyrics, crashing songs in CUE status, lyrics sweeping in the Preview display in Hoster behind or ahead of the Show Display, and a few others. We found a way around this, and it is now being tested. Keep your fingers crossed!

We WILL solve the problems... always have, always will.

Vista has added instability never seen before.

When you report a problem, please give us as much facts as you can. and please remember, emotions don't solve problems... facts do. If everyone posts facts, eventually the root cause will surface.

Thanks. I had not run Belarc for a while. It came up with 5 I had to re-install and 6 that were not installed at all for Office 2007. This is really good advise and points out the falability of Microsoft's Update site.
