Garbled words on laptop

[computex13]

I did a show last weekend where it seemed like everyone had there own disks. While someone was singing, I would import someones CDG and noticed the words on my laptop would garble up. My wife said that the singers screen was fine. I am going to duplacate at home soon. Has anyone seen this before?

what else is running on the computer while your doing the show ?

Nothing, execpt antivirus. I really can turn that off during shows. I use the laptop for shows only, and only get on the internet for updates. Maybe I should switch to my test desktop for updates? I will check everything when I have a chance. I have an HP NC6000 with 1GB of memory. It works great until I noticed this. If it is only on the laptop screen I can live with it. Usually, I only get 1 or 2 customers with there own music. I have over 3,000 songs mostly Sound Choice and Chart Buster. It was just a wierd day, probably because I did it free for a friend.

Could also be the CD drive on the laptop not picking up the graphics correctly. Had this problem with the laptop I had been using until I built my rackmount.

No, the songs all played fine after converting to KMA format. It was only while the conversion was taking place while someone was singing and it seemed to only be on the small laptop song display, not the singers display.
I will try to duplacate tonight.

I think what you are experiencing is normal believe it or not. When I do a search or a track import from a CDG and the window covers the small display on the laptop, the small display becomes scrambled. I think it has to do with graphics buffer for the small display not being updated during a search or track import.
