preview display problems

[janice]

hello,
i'm using karaoke pro v1.710 and microeditorv5.5.
although i am not new to karaoke authoring packages, i am new to this software.
all i want to be able to do is sync lyrics to a track and burn the final cd&g.
i have managed to get the audio into the project area, and have begun syncing the lyrics, but everytime i try to preview it the display is garbled with overlapping lines, black faint text and a significant time delay betwwen audio and lyric display.
the line breaks and page breaks are something i am not used to....do i need to add a at the beginning of my project?

are there any fundamental basic settings that i need to action?
it could be that i am missing a very simple function here.

any help appreciated
thanks in anticipation
