just updated video driver to 335.23 from 332.xx, see what that will do...

haven't had many issues with video drivers in the past with the exception of a beta version around 320.xx I believe, lyrics just piled on the display. rolled back the driver while playing music and the show went on fine without having to restart computer. this was over a year ago, not anything current.

anyway to answer your questions

this computer is about 3 years old and this one and an Asus F3JP used for about 5 years and an emachines M6807 for about 3 years, its the one I started with, they all have always run 2 instances of Hoster just great. never had any problems until version 5xx when it stated that you couldn't run 2 instances of Hoster and they were correct. when you would bring the show not in use to the foreground on your desktop the lyrics for the show playing would disappear. this was fixed in version 5.08 where you can run 2 copies of Hoster. as a side note I have even run 3 before with no problems.

the songs say ready until I hit play and then it displays error and up pops the dialog box telling me the file is corrupt and starts to play the next song or errors out several and plays the next song on the list. different from show to show, not the same songs every show. in other words totally random.

I have a show tonight but I will do a trial run now, see what happens
thanks again
