I have tested all of my cords and outlets. The only thing diffferent is I am not using my RF adapter at this one gig, because it is a big screen tv, with RCA inputs; same as at home. Even the owner tried to make adjustments, to no avail. I am trying to avoid the hassle of moving the tv (from a difficult spot) to switch to the rf adapter again. Any RCA tv genuises out there?
Does your modulator have an Ohms switch?
One bar I play I have to use the RF modulator. In one position everything off the computer looks good while anything from the karaoke player loses it's contrast especially with CB disks - It becomes hard to tell the swiped words from the non. When I flip the switch the graphics from the player are perfect and the colors from the computer become dark and muddy.
At another bar I play I plug into their system. Their modulator is a cheapie from walmart with no Ohms switch, the video from the computer is dark and muddy (but not quite as bad as at the first bar) and the video from the player are perfect.
I use a modulator at home with a little TV I use just for the computer, the ohms switch on it has to be set to the crappy setting just to get the computer to detect the TV. After boot up I can change it to the other setting for a good picture.

To make a long story short............oops too late. Try a modulator with switchable ohms

Also excessively long coax cable runs can cause you to lose color in which case an amplifier can usually cure that.

Hoster and Mixmeister on my computer refuse to co-exist. One always crashes the other
