Hoster Video problem

[kjunkies]

Hi there
I have just recently downloaded Hoster 5.35.01 on a new HP laptop. I am just trying to get the setup right because I have never used the Windows 8 setup before and have already downloaded all of the Performance Recommendations for Windows 8 as per MTU website. My old setup for video was VGA from the laptop splitting to a VGA TV and an AVI input for the 2nd TV which the punters can see.

The new laptop only has HDMI for video which I can't get to work with the AVI. I assume this is because it won't transmit from digital to analog. I purchased a VGA display adaptor which plugs into the USB. The idea here is to use this for the video and bypass the HDMI. This got the video working on all the TV's which was perfect ... except... when I started playing a song through hoster to test it - there was audio but no lyrics. It shows the singers that are coming and has the marque but it is a blank screen where the words should be. Then when you touch hoster or stop/skip a song - hoster crashes.

I restored the computer back before I installed the driver for the VGA display adaptor and hoster works fine again so it is definitely this that has affected Hoster but I can't run the TV's I need without the adaptor.

Any ideas? Is this a hoster problem or a driver problem? Is there another way to run HDMI to AVI or maybe there is another product I should be using?

Thanks for your help
