hicup or interruption while singing
 
Hoster has worked just fine on my Vista hewlett packard presario v6000
with a AMD Turion 64x2 mobile tech with 1.60ghz and ram of 958mb and c drive has 51gb free space of 86.5 possible. Until 2 months ago now when someone is singing and a customer wants me to search a song and add it to the playlist the minute I click on the song in the search window to select it there is a hicup or cut out in the song the singer at that time is singing.

Please help....any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated:)

What version of Hoster?
Have you tried cleaning out temporary files? Defragmenting the hard drive?
What have you added to the computer since starting to use Hoster?
What other programs are running in the background?
I will say that Vista is a memory hog and will slowdown the longer you use it. (XP will do this too but not as badly.

Hey Duners,
It looks like you're a hair below the MTU suggested amount of ram RAM to run Hoster 4.08 (which I recommend you use :w). Upgrading your amonnt of RAM will help, I recommend you use at least 2 gig. Also make sure you have enough RAM on your video card.

This is straight off of the Hoster Page at:

Quote:
  1. Video Hoster runs on Windows XP Home, Pro or Mediacenter with SP3, and Vista (32 and 64-bits) with SR1, all require .NET free download, and the latest upgrades.
  2. An MTU or equivalent CD/DVD Recorder to import CDG Karaoke discs to the hard drive. MTU Certified CDG Recorders give the cleanest imported graphics.
  3. Graphics Video card with at least 128MB of RAM (or on-board graphics chip using at least 128MB system RAM) that supports Direct-X 9.0b or higher (cards with less than 32MB RAM usually don't support 9.0b). Dual-display requires an ATI Radeon 9000 or higher, or NVidia equivalent (not recommended). S3 video cards or chips in laptop computers do NOT support Direct-X 9.0.
  4. Processor running at least 1.5 GHz. Windows XP runs correctly with 1GB system RAM, while Vista requires at least 2GB RAM to run smoothly.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Windows Vista requires more processor power. Inexpensive Laptops with Vista and slower Celeron or AMD processors have been reported to not play video files correctly, and in some cases the lyrics are not in sync to the music.
  5. The computer must be connected to the Internet to install Video Hoster, but not to run it.
If you are running XP be sure you make these changes to your system (just click on the links):

If you are running Vista:

I see Dale slipped in on me. Be sure to follow his suggestions as well. (Thanks Dale, you saved me some typing. :t :c)

I hope this helps!
