New Laptop-Songs Play But no Image On Screen

[den_mar]

Hi all, it has been a long time since I have been on this forum. I just purchased a new Lenovo T420-41786vu with Intel Core i5-2520M, 2.50GHz, 4GB DDr3, 500GB HDD,Intel 3000 Hd + 1 GB Nvidia NVs 4200m, operating on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
This is my first experience with the Windows 7 platform so I am behind the learning curve, especially with all the options in Professional, and only owning it for a few days. I went to the Hoster site and did all the recommended changes for Windows 7 before installing Hoster 5.02.09, including all Windows Updates Program installed, it read my KMA files from my external hard drive however I noticed the screen on Hoster was black where I was used to white (as my original xp machine). The kma's acted as though they had been read (you could see all information about the song including book id's and everything else) however song image and lyrics did not display on laptop screen, the music played, but nothing else. On top of that you could not stop the song by pressing the stop button, you had to push the X, and then a dialouge box came up asking if you should close it down. I did set the screen resolution of the laptop to Hoster recommendations.
I am spending a terrific amount of time trying to master Windows 7 Professional on this designed for business laptop, so I am a little burnt out. I have always ran my shows on an XP Home Version rackmount I bought from Hoster in 2005 with no problems, however I stayed with the 3.316 version and never went beyond there.
Was hoping this new laptop would be my main machine and I would see what I was missing from the version I was so used to. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dennis
