Backup... Backup... Backup.
You fall back on your cdg's when Hoster malfunctions... ok... I did that for 2 shows when I had to replace a faulty Hardrive in my one and only computer at that time... what a hassle, since I had not been keeping my system up with all the newly added music, books, etc. ( I will never go back to discs-only keep them for the legalities issue...) Anyway, now I have a 2nd laptop ready as a backup, in case some gremlin rears its ugly head, and sabotages the show...
Run a mock show for an hour or so... trying everything that someone might throw at you tonight... if it crashes without using the dreaded "import cd track" feature... use your discs... if it doesn't crash during the mock show... set up with Hoster and have your JVC player and discs set up to use as a backup ( peace of mind ) just in case...
IMHO it's time to turn to Hoster 4.09d for the features that Lite doesn't offer ( unless you wish to purchase or already have the Lite Duo and have the 2nd computer backup option. ) Archive those CDG's and sell the JVC Player. ( I still have a JVC 6disc Magazine player & a Hitachi 6disc magazine player - for minimal disc handling, that never get used anymore, and are obsolete when it comes to repairing/parts- I should follow my own suggestion, and get rid of them...)
Good luck tonight and ... hope Dale can troubleshoot your Vista/Computer problem!
