Thanks for the advice
I have changed the graphics setting to \'above normal\'
The \'power scheme\' is on so that is okay
I am 90% sure the CODECS was loaded because I went through the list the day I got the laptop and remember doing it. How would I check that this is running correctly?
Tried a couple songs and seems okay but I guess the real test is when I perform live.
The laptop is LENOVO 80EC - I am not an expert on computer\'s but this is a retired office laptop used for accounting auditing (about 4yrs old)
I just play regular Karaoke songs - no mp4\'s
I don\'t use any other software at the same time that I run Hoster - except SongBook DB of course
