4.04 lyrics out of sync but i found a work around

[Robster]

ok with certain manufacturers i noticed that the lyrics were slower to appear than normal so i altered the colour settings in windows properties from 32 bit to 16 bit on both the lappy screen and the tv screen(going via s-video)and it worked they are now in sync.

Sunfly and sound choice and DK were fine but Zoom and karaoke bay were visibly slower

i feel this more to do with my PC than the software but i thought i would tell everyone the work around
the 16 bit doesnt really seem to matter when all your doing is playing karaoke tracks ..

on 4.03 i got avi files to work every time with 4.04 im having trouble but to be honest i am not bothered as i dont use videos at my shows

The main thing for me is the KEY CHANGE IS FIXED!!!!! YAY!!!

Hey Rob,
What do you mean by "having trouble", it will help.

I'm glad you are having success with 4.04!

They appear sometimes in the preview screen not always they dont appear on the main second monitor
sometimes the video counts down as if it is playing but nothing is shown on either the little preview of the main screen(the banners etc all display but no video of sound.

In 4.03 it just worked for me after i loaded a vista codec pack now it doesnt..as i say now its not
i also get a windows error message at start up internet explorer script error

line 63

error wmp is null or not an object

then it says do you want to continue running scripts on this page ..ive always clicked yes ...should i click..no?

Thanks Rob,
Did you get the Explorer script error before installing 4.04?

Try reinstalling the vista codec pack.

i reinstalled the codec pack and no change

The vids play perfectly direct in wmp11

Try this Rob.
Do a system restore to the point before you upgraded to 4.04. Make sure you are not getting the error message when you open IE.

This time unistall 4.03, restart your machine then install 4.04. If you no longer get the script error when you open IE, see if your videos work in 4.04.

Are you using IE7?

Jim

[Robster]

ok i will do that early tomorrow morning .i will leave it for tonight as i know it works for karaoke..i need to go to set up for my show tonight.
thanks madjim

yes im using the latest IE

Thanks once again..im just chuffed the key change works!!

[madjim- with the Lord]

Right on Rob, have a great show!

The key is to get IE7 working correctly before you unistall 4.03. If you can get IE7 fixed without doing the system restore, it might get you going.

There are folks on the board with way more knowledge on system errors than me and they may be able to tell you just what to do. I'm just giving you my self taught way of fixing things.

I tried a beta from a popular spyware removal company long before I tested with MTU and quickly learned the value of System Restore.

Rob,
Have you tried this, alot of times this is what fixed the Script erorrs, as it was missing updates.
