Just an update: Using both my Main Dell laptop and my old MTU Prostar laptop, I’ve spent about 2 hours today on 4.01 and 4.02. I loaded about an hours worth of karaoke files in each. Repeatedly both 4.01 and .02 would hang at the end of the first song and literally hang the computer. Sometimes I couldn’t get out without a cold boot.
I then in each version played about 5 seconds of the first song; stopped and restarted. Both versions then played all the way through without a hitch. But then they would hang again after 5 or 6 songs. At that I point I often would have songs that lyrics were out of sync with song. Also with 4.02 it won’t let me utilize 3.40. It basically tells me it can’t find my songs. 4.01 will let me use 3.40
I also took the advice I read in one of the posts and set my resolution to 1024x768 and my color quality to 16 bit. Can’t tell if that has had any impact but it obviously couldn’t hurt.
I’ve reverted back to 4.01 for the time being just so I can use 3.40.
I know a lot of people maybe upset right now or at least frustrated. These kinds of problems are new to me also. I started using Hoster for my shows back in late 2002. Did three nights a week for several years plus parties. Never had a back up computer until last year. (I know, call me stupid or lucky) Never needed one until last week. Luckily my backup only had 4.01 on it.
I say all this to attest to how great MTU programs are. And the people like MadJim and Dale and many others who jump in here and help.
Hey, 3.40 is solid. I just miss having to wait to use all my cool wav. Files!
MTU will come out of this bump in road and we’ll all be happy again. Hey, if the “mountain” was smooth, we’d never get the chance to climb it!
