Arrow Lyrics background is "transparent", making it hard to read lyrics

I just installed the most recent version of Hoster.
No problem. But after a while something strange happened:
The "background" for most of my karaokesongs became "transparent", which means that after a page of lyrics, the next page is showed "on top" of the old page, making it very difficult to read the lyrics after a while. It even happens for the title page.
This did not happen with my old version of Hoster, nor did it happen right after I installed the new version.
So I hope, that I just changed a setting somewhere, but I have really been searching around and read the manual, and can't find a way to get things to work.
I even uninstalled, and reinstalled Hoster, checking "clear all saved settings", it did not help me either.

I hope there is a real easy solution to this - and that someone can help me :-)

Best regards, Martin, Denmark
(I am running Win7 64 Home Premium in Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro).
I do not have Hoster installed on any other machine.

Thank you for your reply.
Is this something you KNOW, or is it just a kind suggestion.
My MacBook Pro is quite new (mid 2012) and as I wrote, it DID work right after I installed the program.

I'm not familiar with the MacBook or using Bootcamp which I presume you are using to run windows.

There was one thing changed in 5.09 and 5.10 in the Tools menu/options there was a tick box added for use the MTU Hoster power scheme, whether this could have any bearing on your problem, perhaps it messes with something on a Mac.
Check your power settings are running at maximum.

Another setting that was introduced in 5.09 /10 may be worth looking at, Tools Menu/Audio controls, at the bottom of this dialog is a drop down that will either show Audio or Display with another dropdown next to it to alter the priority to between highest to lowest. Again this is just a shot in the dark but as it was new to these versions may have an effect.
Try altering display setting higher or lower,
