3.314 not flashing screen, but won't import lyrics?

OK...I am still experiencing the Slow Down problem. This slowness shows up everywhere...search box opening and closing on top Hoster menu items, selecting/deselecting songs in the Playlist, starting/stopping Songs, moving Songs to different positions in the Playlist, and Minimizing other Programs that were on top of Hoster, to name a few.

I have tested by changing numerous XPPro SP2 Settings, started anew by deleting Hoster's persistent settings, and adjusted Video and Audio Acceleration, either from within Hoster or through DXDIAG, and, other things too numerous to mention.

None of these things helped except that I noticed, when I disabled DIRECT DRAW completely, there were NO SLOWNESS issues with Hoster. I closed DXDIAG thinking I resolved the problem.

But, upon closing and reopening Hoster, Hoster was back to the same problems.

With Hoster still OPEN, I opened DXDIAG and RE-ENABLED the DIRECT DRAW settings. Then, Hoster, immediately, worked correctly. I closed DXDIAG, closed and reopened Hoster and, again, back to the same problems.

My next trick was to KEEP DXDIAG OPEN PERMANENTLY without changing any settings to DIRECT DRAW and AUDIO ACCELERATION.

Hoster worked perfectly every time Hoster was Opened.

This was PROVEN to work on TWO Different Computers with TWO Different Video Cards.

So, if anyone is experiencing the problems in this Thread, you might try opening DXDIAG and leaving it OPEN until you are done using Hoster.
