I just started having this problem last night in the Hoster 4.11 everything was good before that.

After I click on the icon on the deaktop for Hoster it takes almost 4 minutes to come up.

What I was doing before that was, I was listing songs (kma files) into my Hoster program using the "search" button in Hoster when this all started. I had listed up to 23 hours when this started happening.

Since, I have uninstalled and re-installed Hoster, cleaned registry, defraged, did a scan disk and did a virus scan.

On My XP and Vista, they work just fine. I just can't put my finger on what all of a sudden just happened.
Anybody got a clue?
Thanks

Are you saying you added 23 hours worth of songs to a playlist?
No wonder Hoster takes so long to open. If you have a playlist with songs listed on it in Hoster when you close Hoster, then that same playlist will be there when you open Hoster the next time.
When you open Hoster part of its setup that it goes through before opening on the screen is to check all the songs listed in the playlist to make sure they are accessable. If one isn't then it is marked as unavailable.
Let's see 23 hours worth at 12 - 20 songs per hour would be 276 - 460 files to verify. Yes I could see 4 minutes to open the program.

Now instead of leaving that monster size playlist open in Hoster try saving that playlist with a name then start a "New" playlist and then close Hoster. Then when you open Hoster again it won't have any songs to check until you "Open" that long list.
