Hell it would cost more to ship than it can be bought new. I found it online for $39. I paid almost $200 for it last year.

If anyone wants it, send me the shipping cost!

After installing all window updates, WMP 11, the PCI dual video card, moving my KMA files and installing Hoster 4.04 all works very well.

The only issue I had was during the file transfer from my external hard . While the external drive is runnng, I can hear the activity as noise comming through the speakers. Since the hard drive was big enough to hold all of my KMA's and my MP3's I won't be using the external drive so it's not a problem for me. One day I'll go the Intel web site and look for an update.

I learned something doing this upgrade install on a new machine. I installed 3.321a on the machine then installed 4.04. When I opened 4.04 nothing happened and I know the databse should rebuild and the HDZIP conversion should run. I knew at that point that I had to unistall 4.04, reinstall 3.321a then rebuild the databse in 3.321a. After doing this, I upgraded to Hoster 4.04 and it rebuilt the database automaticaly and ran the conversion with no problems.

A great price on a great little machine with XP.

Jim, Why do you suppose this happened in the first place. Was it simply a "bad" first 4.04 install for some reason.

It happened because I used an upgrade RegCode and Installed 4.04 with no database files for it to read.
