The Disc Import does have some bugs in it that go back a long way. MTU is aware of it and should be fixing it in 4.03.

I upgraded from Hoster Lite to Hoster 4.01 and I don't have a previous version of Hoster 3.4 in my folder like you said?

are you sure ? it says hoster3.4.exe

you have to go get it manually thru "my computer "

[ddouglass]

Look in C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster. In that folder is a file named Hoster34.exe. Right click on it and create a shortcut to it, then move that to your desktop. That is Hoster 3.4.

Well I had reverted back to vs 3.2 and everything was running smoothly. The Windows XP SP3 came out and I installed it. Now none of the videos/audio play. I think it's a codec issue but i"m not sure and I don't know if there needs to be an updated to Media Player 11 since XP SP 3 comes out. So I'm trying to uninstall SP3 and go back to what I know works. Anyone else with these issues?

Ok, here is my story and it has a happy ending.

I have 2 laptops. One is my business and home machine that I use daily. I also use it to test updated from MTU before loading them on my Sony Vail which is a bit older and slower, but a workhorse.

When I loaded 4.0 and 4.1 everything worked just fine on both machines. Then I loaded Service Pack 3 on my Acer (home machine) and I no longer got grahpics. So, I didn't update the Sony since it was working and I sucessfully made it thru a show, although there were two or three times that it locked up and went down. But it restarted ok and all was fine.

I spend hours and hours trying to debug my Acer and thru the help of the great folks here on the Forum, I went out and joined a driver community and reinstalled the driver for my Acer from sIs. That SOLVED THE ISSUE and I went ahead and loaded MS Service Pack 3 on my Sony. To my surprise, everything worked just fine!

It appears that some audio and video drivers that are original may not be compatible with the newest service pack. But now, not only do both machines run 4.02 but they are both considerable faster as well.

I would update media player via Windows Update, while at it, update anything else that is out there for your machine. Then, if no graphics, update your video card. I can send you a link if you need one, but just a google search will result in a ton of places where you can find the driver for your video card.

Good Luck...
