Hoster shuts down after 35-40 seconds.

I hear you Dale I've been fortunate to run Hoster on this machine for a long while probably five years or so.I now have a workaround for my problem by just keeping the display always on but I still don't think that I should have to.

Thanks for all your hard work both in the testing and in the Forum.
I know I don't post often but I do read posts often something I believe we called sandbagging back in my Ham/CB radio days.

Chuck - I have just discovered I can replicate your problem on my new Vista PC simply by unchecking the Tools/Show Display/Intermission/Always On box.
Good find. Looks like it's one that slipped through the net.
It's good that you have found that checking this box is an effective work-round until it is sorted.

If all you want to do is hide the snd you can simply check the "Hide" box under singers name display in the intermission screen and choose the same background image you use for your desktop and no one will ever know any diference. This is a 2 step process compared to the one step process of unchecking the "always on" box, but then that was designed for folks who don't have dual display cards.

Okay, I downloaded 4.10 last night and played a few songs on it and it's working fine. I haven't checked everything out on it yet, but so far so good. I was looking forward to this version very much because of being able to change brands on multiple songs at once. I suggested this change a little while ago. I had a lot of songs that had Sound Choice Pro, Brick, 6+6, Chartbuster Essential, etc., that I wanted to label as Sound Choice, or just Chartbuster. It gets maddening when downloading lots of music and it keep stopping to tell you this Disc ID uses Sound Choice 6+6 and so on. So I've been busily changing all the names, and I'm very happy. Also I've noticed another improvement in the edit utility which I thought should be changed, and that is when you highlight title or artist to make a correction, eg., The Beatles - Beatles, The, the entire artist name or the title would dissappear, requiring you to type in the title or artist. I used it last night and highlighted just the "The", and the rest of it stayed. Kudos to MTU for all the work in making the BEST hosting program on the planet even better. And of course, thanx to all the people on these threads that provide many answers to the various problems we encounter. You're all the greatest.
