Had lyrics graphics, now don't

[bernie]

Hey gang,

I broke something and am hoping someone might suggest where I start looking. The installation is a Dell 8100 Inspiron notebook with Windows XP. I installed MicroStudio 4.000 when first released and everything was fine. Today I installed the 4.001 update and have encountered a problem I don't see discussed elsewhere.

If I now play a karaoke track directly from a CD, the lyrics window is blank (filled with black to be precise). I can import the track and subsequently see the lyrics, but I've lost the ability to play discs directly. I could before.

I uninstalled 4.001 and reinstalled 4.000. Lyrics window is still blank. I wish I had verified 4.000 still worked prior to the upgrade to make sure I haven't made a change to the system since the last time I used it. For all I know the now blank lyrics window is totally coincidental to today's upgrade.

Btw, two drives are recognized for cdg playback and I've rechecked both. I used to be able to play directly from either, now I can play directly from neither.

Any clue what I might have done to loose the display of lyrics?

Thanks!

I just upgraded to Micostudio 4.001 to see if I would have the same problem, I did not so the program (Microstudio 4.001) shoudl not be the cause. Here are a few things to try:

1. Make sure you have all of the "Windows Updates" for Windows XP. Don't trust the "Express" button for it will only give you the critical updates, use the "Custom" button.

2. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card.

If the problem still happens after these updates:

!. Unistall Microstudio
2. Restart Your Computer
3. Install Microstudio 4.001

If you changed ANYTHING on your computer BEFORE you installed Microstudio 4.001, change it back.


I Hope This Helps.
