Emergency!!!

Setting my equipment up for a show Sat night and my lyrics are too slow......not too fast. I have lowered screen to 16 bit and disabled virus program.....nothing running in the background. This is an all of a sudden problem. Any suggestions? I am using 4.6 w/XP on a Compaq Presario LT. I am getting desperate!

Guess I'll answer this one myself. Seems like the graphics started tracking correctly when I downsized the singer's video to about half size. I ran all updates and basically am in business but don't know what fixed it for sure or if it will work tomorrow night. Like Dale says, "$*#@ happens!!

I am glad you got it working. I am also sorry no one was available to help. We all must have been doing shows tonight.

When I first read your post, I was thinking about something that happened to me before. I like to manually stretch the singers screen to display perfectly on the particular TV that the singers use. I had the same problem you were having. I had inadvertently stretched the side a little too far and had just the edge of the singers display on my computer. I felt a little silly after panicking for 5 minutes wondering what I should do.

Mark, I think the size was my problem and may be indicative of an inadequate video card. I have a Compaq and I have heard that they are not user friendly on replacement components.

Steve I think that was more in the past. Compaq used to be very proprietary in what they would use. Radio Shack was the same way. Radio Shack is gone (from making their own computers) but I think Compaq changed their ways. The reputation has lingered on though.
What size did you change from and down to?

Dale, I'm using a 17" computer monitor for the singer's monitor and had Hoster streched out almost edge to edge. It is not working fine but is a little less than half the screen. If I'm not mistaken, I had a song playing that was behind in graphics and I extended over to that monitor and downsized it and heard a slight difference in sound and thats when I think the graphics caught up. Hard to tell, I did everything in every post I could find.
