Words out of sync last night

Last night at a show on the third song I noticed (and so did the singer) that the words were getting behind the music. I closed Hoster and restarted the computer, then all was fine for the rest of the night.

The onlything I remember doing between the second and third songs was playing about 8 or 10 videos off of Virtual DJ. As long as I deactivate the video setting on VDJ before playing a Hoster song, I'm okay. However, I did all that and somehow it affected Hoster in the way described above. I wonder why?

Any ideas? Could it be a Ram memory (1Gb) thing?

I could have started the Hoster song while the VDJ song was not quite finished (although the video was deactivated). But every song after that third one was out of sync until I restarted the computer. I continued to play VDJ videos (two at the most between songs)afterwards with no more problems afterwards.

Next time you see it, or even when you run VDJ, also run your Task Manager and monitor the memory usage. If it continually goes up, they have a "memory leak" which eats RAM each time it runs.

I have a program "System Mechanic 7" that cleans registry, reorganizes RAM (every time I run it), defrags HDD (when I approve), and removes unused clutter files on the HDD.

I'd try something like this if the problem continues. I thought shutting the computer off cleared all RAM contents, but then there is the "Virtual Memory"... who knows what lurks in that MS mystery file.

Hmm, I see. I have a alittle background program called rambooster that was recommended by VDJ people and I thought I clicked on that as well afterwards, I thought that was supposed to clear ram and/or "optimize" it as the term rambooster uses.

I'll keep an eye out and try to force a "bad situation" again. Thanx.
