I've upgraded all my laptops (5) to 4.08, I also finally converted my HP laptop from VISTA to XP (I'm VISTA free
).
All five of these laptops meet all the checklist requirements, they have all the (non hardware) custom updates.
The gateway laptop that I was having a problem with the first song loading slow and the non responsive crashing problem I added RAM from 512m to 2 Gig and still have those problems (I thought the RAM increase would fix the problem I was wrong).
The HP that I just converted from VISTA to XP. (4.03 in VISTA was working fine) (but the 4.08 in XP has been really quirky). At it's first show it lasted 20 minutes of everything working fine and the host had to go to 3.4 to finish the show the music and lyrics were out of sync. In testing at home it worked fine for 2 hours before having out of sync problems. I have mostly Soundchoice songs and there is no out of sync problem with the Sound Choice, the out of synce problem once it starts seems to be only with DKKaraoke music
.
The other 3 laptops are working fine now.
I wish someone would have told me not to buy VISTA before I did. Unless you know exactly what you are doing it's probably not wise to convert VISTA to XP. I also would not suggest someone to do it unless I was planning on helping them make sure the make shift drivers they are loading will work with their machine and Hoster. It's easy to say convert if you're not the one doing it.
I know once I've rectified all my problems I'll be glad I made the conversion
.
I hope someone can help me especially with the HP. The gateway problem is more of a nuisance then a major problem.
