Sometimes only one time, but I can pretty well count on it.

Karen, I agree with you 100%. I can echo your problem everytime as well. It only happens right after loading a CD from a customer during a show. The software will either skip, the graphics will get out of sync with the song, or the music will even play off tempo. It ONLY happens right after or while loading a disc. This never used to be an issue for me, but as of the last couple updates on hoster, I am seeing this problem more and more. I tried maxing out the ram in my system with some of the best and fastest ram I could use and saw no improvement in this problem. So simply being a memory issue I find questionable as a reason. I find it more plausable that hoster has become a CPU hog now and since it is too big, people with older XP single core sytems are going to have problems with hoster unless they post a separate version for XP and vista. Don't hold your breath on that happening though.
Like those people above pointed out, closing the software down and re-opening it will correct this problem. But, it causes a host of other problems when doing this during a show. The most note worthy is that any songs from discs that you were brought in from a customer are now gone from your list. If you forget about this, a singer will think you dropped them and get upset. You now have to reload them and go through this all over again. Or drop them in a separate karaoke player on the side which is what I find best until hoster fixes this problem. (it used to work fine a year ago so I don't know what they changed, probably a vista fix to the software screwing up XP users)
