Hippotizer Version 4.4.5 improves the performance and stability of Hippotizer V4 and V4+ systems using Version 4.4.
- Systems currently running 4.4.X can install 4.4.5 as an update; all programming and settings will be preserved.
- Systems currently running 4.3.X or older software must clean install 4.4.5; all existing programming and settings will be lost.
