I Need Help! - Fixed by reinstalling Hoster - Page 2

Do you think that your Plextor may have gone bad?

There is another thread, dated March 1, 2005,

http://forum.mtu.com/showthread.php?...hlight=plextor

that talks about a Plextor 708A going bad. I realize that this is not the same drive that you have but the 708A has DVD capabilities like your drive.

Sometimes I think that these DVD capable drives are too sensitive as compared to non-DVD CD Drives.

Just a thought,

Norm

Did you try to re-install Hoster?

syko73_99 · #24 March 24th, 2005, 02:12 PM

If I Reinstall Will I Lose All Of The Kma's That I Have Imported?

syko73_99 · #25 March 24th, 2005, 02:14 PM

If I Was To Import Them Thru Microstudio,would I Be Able To Access Them From Hoster?

No, you will not lose them.

Upon every release of a new version of Hoster, it is recommended that you choose "REMOVE" first, then, upon clicking the Hoster executable file again, Hoster will perform an Install.

So, this is a normal course of events...Removing and Installing...that all Hoster users have been experiencing.

If you are uncomfortable with doing a complete uninstall, you could try to use the "Upgrade" and see if that fixes the problem. And, if not, then do the Uninstall and Reinstall.

I Can't Uninstall And Re-install Because I Myself Don't Have The Software...the Guy That Built This Machine Does

You should have a download link from your email that MTU sent you, if it is reg. to you.

syko73_99 · #32 March 24th, 2005, 02:52 PM

It's Not Registered To Me,i'm The Kj..they Built This System For Me To Use. I Didn't Install Any Of The Software Or Hardware. ALL I DO IS IMPORT THE CD+G'S INTO IT AND RUN THE SOUND.

Try and Import 1 song that was correct on the first pass. This will tell us if something has changed. Right now we are guessing at what the problem is. Re-Importing a song will show that it is not a disk problem for sure if the song imports incorrect. That will be 1 possible issue elimated.

When I started Importing songs the CDG Drive failed after 10 or so disks. I had to buy a new replacement and send the first for repair. Call Pextor Support and see if they have heard of this issue before. They may have and then the issue will be how soon you can get another drive.

Okay I Did What You Suggested And It Just Screwed Up The Last Good Ones I Had Imported,IT TURNED A GOOD KMA INTO A NO AUDIO JUST GRAPHICS KMA

mhollyts · #37 March 24th, 2005, 03:16 PM

That means that the CDG's you have are most likely good.

I do not believe that this issue is software. It is most likely hardware and the Plextor Drive.

There Help site is:
http://www.plextor.com/english/suppo...lexhelper.html

Their Phone number is: 1.510.440.2000

I would Place a call to them and see what they had to say. It may save you some time.

syko73_99 · #38 March 24th, 2005, 03:17 PM

OKAY,WILL DO...THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Well, I still wouldn't rule out a bad Plextor.

What version of Hoster are you running?

If it is v3.006, do a search on your Hard Drive for hoster3006setup.exe

If it is on your Hard Drive, you will be able to click this file and do an UPGRADE without being connected to the Internet.

If you go through a complete Uninstall and Re-install, you will need to be connected to the Internet and, possibly, have all the Original purchase information that will include the Purchaser Name and Email.

If you don't have this File or Info, get it from your Computer supplier and tell them. I would have a copy of the EXE file on your Hard Drive at all times.

If it is not a bad Plextor, then, it will be essential to re-install the Hoster program in order to eliminate the software as a problem source.
