Thanks

I have the same problem. I have a Dell 1525 W/Vista and 4gig. After installing 4.04 and rebooting, the program will not start. 4.03 was working before the update to 4.04. Tried it many different ways and still can't get it to work. Finally went to Control Panel and removed Hoster. Then reinstalled 4.03 and 4.03 works. I have tried to reload 4.04 several times but it will not work. I always have to use control panel and remove hoster then reinstall 4.03 to get it to work. I would like to know why in the properties of 4.04 it is set up to run in compatibility mode with windows XP. I have Vista installed not XP. Sorry, I don't know how to solve the problem. Hopefully MTU will find the solution.

There was a bug that was found that prevented some Vista users (myself included) from running the program & should be fixed in 4.05. Just hang with 4.03 a while longer.

My HP with Vista will only work with 4.02.

Did you make sure you did ALL the required updates before upgrading to 4.04. I put it on my 6-year old HP-XP laptop with only 512 RAM and it works fine. It's Vista that's causing the most grief.

Thanks SkyBryd,

If you look above you'll see it's a bug in 4.04 that they will fix in 4.05. My Dell Laptop seems to be fine.

I think we all need to start accepting Vista since that is what the future is.
I own four companies ranging from DJ's, KJ's, VDJ's, Live entertainment from Petting Zoo's to Headliner Entertainers, Stage Lighting, Sound Systems as well as a Recording Studio.

I find that Vista seems to be prefered OS by the majority of my employees. We have 117 employees.

If I may ask, what are the names of your companies? Where are they located? It sounds like you have built quite a business.

Thanks

Just wondering if you got Hoster to work on your Vista? After reading all the posts, I decided to upgrade my Vista from 3.321 to 4.03 and it works GREAT. 4.04 works on my old XP, but is causing problems for just about everyone on Vista.

Hi Skybyrd

We have 23 Laptops and 1 Desktop. They are all Vista. My personal Desktop will only run up to version 4.02. The rest of the units are running 4.04. A few of them are having various problems such as lyrics out sync.

You can use the 34 exec if you have the 4 series installed which works like the 3.321
