KHPRO Text not showing Windows 7

[Roy Dennis]

Might sound a silly answer but is text the same colour as the background ?

Thanks, I appreciate any answers, unfortunately that didn't work, I tried a few color choices. Even an "Intro Title" does not display. While placing lyrics, there is nothing with going through the motions of tapping the space bar. On play back, just one blue swipe to black and no lyrics. I have 3 gigs of memory, an Nvidia video PCI express, with 512mb, Win 7 Pro, latest drivers. Tried 16 bit, 32 bit color, no Aero theme, UAC off and set Run as Admin, with XP SP3 compatibility.

I finally found this under the KHPRO Faq section:

"Lyrics are Black or do not sweep - NVIDIA Only"
This has you roll back your Nvidia driver to an older one that works with KHPRO. Now it displays the text for placement.
I just hope the older Nvidia driver does not affect something else.

This has not only been the case for KHPro but for Hoster and Microstudio as well. It appears the last set of firmware/drivers for Nvidia had major problems with a lot of programs.

This is not true. I too had this problem with my NIVDIA GEForce 8800 GTX and purchased and installed KHP version 5.00 to try to get the program to work in Windows 7 x64. It does not fix the problem. None of us can "roll back driver" if the driver we have installed is the only one we ever installed on our OS. The oldest driver available for the NVIDIA cards on their website is dated July 21, 2009. When I installed that driver, the problem was not solved. I have a dual-boot system and the program does not work under XP Pro SP3 with the original driver that came with the card (this driver does not work under Win 7 since it is not a 64-bit driver).

Using the cop-out that the NVIDIA drivers are somehow "bad" as stated in the help topic referenced above is an excuse for not wanting to deal with advanced graphics cards (I must have a CUDA-capable card for other software to run effectively). I have at least 50 programs installed on this PC and NONE of them have ever had any problem with the NVIDIA card. Now I apparently stuck with a $25 upgrade that won't function under any circumstances on this PC.

If someone has an _effective_ solution for this problem I would like to know what it is. And while I am at it, what is the "older NVIDIA driver" referenced in the help topic? it isn't the driver that is on the CD that came with the card (which doesn't work in Win 7 x64 anyway). Name of the installation file, please, or driver name and version so I can possibly find it online.

Also where is the "disable UAC" topic in the help section? I can't find it. I am guessing this is irrelevant to the NVIDIA driver issue since it is not necessary to disable anything to uninstall or install display adapter drivers in Win 7.

Are you experiencing the same problem as joelhek who started this post as he solved his problem with the driver issue or is your problem a different one ? If your problem is different to the above then give us proper details as to what it is.

As to the disable UAC. This is one path to it, Start/Control panel/User Accounts/ from the open window select change user account control settings, select the slider and select never notify then OK. You may get warnings after this but ignore.

As I said in my post, yes it is the same problem, and no driver that is on NVIDIA's website fixes the issue. That's why I asked which driver specifically works with KHP.

When a new problem appears, we look at it ASAP. NVidia has been a thorn in our side FOREVER... not just the latest cards.

I just downloaded the demo as I am looking into a karaoke creator for a few tracks I have of my old band.
I get the exact same problems as described above. Hoster, Microstudio both work fine, but KHPro (demo) does not at all. Split second graphic flash of the words & then black screen (no the words are not the same color). Have tried 'rolling back' my NVIDIA driver to no avail. Have tried all suggestions above - again to no avail.

Hi there,
I have just encountered the same exact problem with KHPro. I initially thought the problem was related to running 4.11 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I purchased and downloaded the upgrade of KHPro 5.01 and see the same problem with it. I have an nVidia card and tried downgrading to the prior version of the driver, but that did not work. My symptoms are exactly the same as what was reported previously.
