Fixing Hoster sweeping too fast on NVIDIA Graphic Chipsets

[pcgumshoe]

These instructions are for where songs are sweeping lyrics out of synch in Hoster.

Update your Chipset Drivers to the current version from the NVidia Site Click Here For NVidia Drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp)

If you are using an NVidia graphics card, download the driver for that as well, the Unified Driver is Several Versions Behind. Check with your card manufacturer to confirm that their version isn't recommended over NVidia's.

Install all the drivers. After your system has been rebooted and all the drivers are updated, right mouse-click on "MY COMPUTER" select "PROPERTIES" from the drop down menu. Select the tab labled "HARDWARE" click the "DEVICE MANAGER" button. Locate the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" and press the "+" next to it. Double Click on the "NVIDIA NForce MCP2 IDE Controller." Click on the "DRIVER" tab. Click "UPDATE DRIVER" select "Install from list or specific location (Advanced)" then click NEXT. Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install." Then click NEXT. Select the "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller" and click NEXT.

Reboot the system.

Other associated issues:
Be certain that your HDD is on the Primary IDE channel and that the ribbon cable is an 80 Pin UDMA cable. If TWO Devices are on the Primary IDE channel, make certain that the HDD is closest to the motherboard.

Please let me know if this resolves your problems.
