"Re: New Lyrics Problem With Hoster and Microstudio
UPDATE

I used Device Manager to check the display adapters and found I have two displays. One is the NIVIDIA Quandro 1000M and it has a driver from NIVIDIA 8.17.12.8562 dated 10/15/2011.

The second display adapter is INTEL Graphics Family with an Intel Driver 8.15.10.2321 dated 3/6/2011.

Is it possible the two different display drivers are fighting each other?

The Monitor is a Lenovo ThinkPad Display 1600x900 with a screen resolution of 1600x900 which is the recommended setting. Its driver is from Lenovo 4.36.0.0 dated 3/4/2011.

I also see a Generic PnP Monitor with Microsoft Driver 6.1.7600.16385 dated 6/21/2006 listed in the Device Manager "Monitors".

Using Hoster, I connected a computer monitor to my Laptop, selected extend and dragged the singer's window onto it. The text for the lyrics was fairly clear, but the preview window became garbled. I dragged the singer's window back to the laptop and the lyrics became garbled and the preview lyrics became clear. I also noticed the advert display for Hoster, "Hoster from MTU.com" was clear on both windows.

I was able to drag the lyrics window in Microstudio onto the second monitor and the result was clear lyrics. If I drag it back they start to become garbled. If I double click on the windows it fills the screen, but I can't drag it back to the laptop unless I double click again.

I have an Acer Netbook that has Hoster installed for Win XP and it works great. I also have the XP function as part of my Win T Pro 64 and if push comes to shove I may try that if I can. The only good thing for me is I'm not a professional, so I only use my Hoster for personal enjoyment, so I'm not losing any bookings while I try to fix my NVIDIA driver problem.

no this my system...........
