As far as drivers, I believe that the Intel 3000hd I have as well (It supports extended desktop features as well) could run Hoster by itself, when I figure how to turn off the NVIDIA card. Since it seems like most all of the newer laptops are using the NVIDIA cards. I would hope MTU would work on getting the newer Hoster versions more compatible with the current technology. I don't think reverting back to using older drivers as the answer is going to improve the Hoster program going forward. I just don't see any other options for graphics cards compatible for this particular computer, and don't want to mess with the internals as it would void my 3 year warranty. I guess I will just run the machine for my separate DJ program until I find a solution. Unfortunately no computer tech around here knows anything about Hoster. Too bad MTU doesn't have a fee based access program to get in and do the necessary changes online for non techies like me.

Even though the black background is the default that doesn't mean you have to use it as we now have the ability to change that background. Under Tools/Options you can change the background color.
MTU has been looking at the Nvidia situation and trying to figure out how to solve this but until they do then we need to use the older drivers to get those to work.
As far as turning off the Nvidia then you should be able to do that from the computer set-up. To get into that you should see a key press that you need to do when the computer first starts up. Some use F2 and others use the delete key. Just have to see what is used when computer first starts up.
You can submit a support ticket and work with Support on this. They do have the ability to go iunto your computer if they can't help by instructions to you.
