Have you had it going correct on your previous system ?

Have you done all the recommended changes and updates before installing ?

yes to both questions. Microstudio plays my KMA files just fine. I was told that it is probably the videocard drivers but if thats the case then why does microstudio work just fine? And I still dont have any emails from support?

Regarding support, they have a ticket system, if you fill in the card correct you should get a support ticket # back. If you haven't you have either done something wrong or you need to make sure your service provider isn't blocking MTU emails.

Regarding your problem, as I have not herd of this particular problem before it is all guesswork to offer advise, which is probably why no one else has answered as well. You could try an earlier driver as there was a problem with some new video drivers from nvidea although the problem was different to yours.

Just to help us understand more about your set up.
Are you using this in extended mode ? if so remove the extended monitor and concentrate on single view.
When you say you just have blank boxes, can you see the marque at the top if you enable it (settings are in Tools/show display) or the singers list window at the bottom, again settings are in the show display.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is to check your screen resolution, try a different resolution. or go to your nvidea control panel and see if there are any settings there that may help. not having your video card cannot really tell you how to check it.

Sorry I can't be more helpful at the moment. keep us informed if you find anything.

Roy.

To answer your question about Microstudio playing them and Hoster not, they do not use the same player setup so you are comparing apples and oranges. All this has done is found out your files are ok.
The up to date drivers for Nvidia cards is the problem. Go to there website and try one of the older drivers listed. For some reason the newest driver from them messes up the video.

DDouglass is correct. I have a NVidia card and went through the same problem where all the words are blacked out. Roll back to an older driver, and that fixes the problem.

I have NVidea also. I have a strange problem, but I have learned to live with it. I can play .wmv files and they will show on Singers Display, except when I try to play them though an InstaButton-then all I get is a tiny block with video so small it can't be seen. So I only play them in the Playlist now. It should be in the Specs/requirements (it may already be there) - don't buy a laptop with NVidea.
