just when I thought the problem was solved, it's back
after reinstalling an old version everything was working great..the timing was perfect on the sweep. So I shut down the laptop and loaded it in the van to go to my Saturday Nite gig and started my show. The first song out of the gate had the delayed sweep

and every singer was commenting on it. After a while they all got use to it and the comments stopped.
I'm beginning to think that this is somehow linked to system settings that go to the defalut setting when my laptop boots up. Just guessing here. I'm becoming fairly confident that it is not the Hoster program that is the problem.
I really don't know where to start.
