Extended monitor problems...

Will the PCI sound card fit in a 2004 sony Vio desktop??? I'm not really familiar with this PCI or not issue??? I don't really know the difference...

Short for Peripheral Component Interconnect, a local bus standard developed by Intel Corporation. Most modern PCs include a PCI bus in addition to a more general ISA expansion bus. PCI is also used on newer versions of the Macintosh computer.
PCI is a 64-bit bus, though it is usually implemented as a 32-bit bus. It can run at clock speeds of 33 or 66 MHz. At 32 bits and 33 MHz, it yields a throughput rate of 133 MBps. Also see PCI-X and PCI Express.

Yes as long as you have an open slot. Not that familiar with the brand, but any desktop produced in the last several years will have PCI slots (I can hear the dings coming now...sigh, but generally speaking this is true.) Some have more than others though.

As far as the card from Walmart the catalog page you linked says it is online only (may just be my location) so I would definately call to make sure they have it in stock at your store.

I take it the S-video cable you have isn't S-video to RCA? Not sure if Wally World has one but I know Radio Shack does.

i bet windows update , updated your video card on you. i would try rolling back the driver for the video card.

The problem is spiratic... This sucks... Although it worked fine for last night... Show was a great success! (Gee I love Hoster) I'm going to wait till it doesn't work and go from there to try and figure the cause out... Thanks for all the ideas from everyone... This forum is a great place for info... One other questions though...

I believe I had updated my hoster to 3.312 or 13.. However when I'm in hoster and I check the level it says 3.303... Could it be updated and not give me the correct level on that screen?

i would uninstall hoster and reinstall.

Go to your MTU folder where the downloaded files are and see if you have a Hoster3313setup.exe file.

If the 3313 file is there, you must have had an angel sitting on your shoulder last night as it would appear that somehow in all this you wound up with 3303.

As Beavis said, uninstall it and reinstall 3313, and see if the problem is still there.

Check your playlist and look for a column marked as KEY. If it isn't there then you haven't upgraded.

I will check it asap... (this weekend...) The DJ / Karaoke stuff only comes out when needed... Business is going really well... I hate to have a show go astray... My business has the best rep in my area...

I am running a Sony Desktop with 2.8 gig processor
1 gig ram
160 gid HD
ATI radeon 9200 card (Has RCA comp. out)
dual disk drives (CD-R and DVD R)
Plextor ext. disc drive
160 ext WD HD (For back up of KMA files and DJ music)
Mix Vibes DJ progaram
Hoster for Karaoke

If you have 3313 installed, then it's smelling more like an intermittant cable, jack, plug, hookup problem.

It would seem unplugging and setting up at the show site caused a physical change somewhere in the hook up.

Connections do get dirty also, not necessarily broken. That's why I keep a can of electronic contact cleaner on hand at all times.

A subparagraph of Murphy's Law states that if you wait until it's totally broken to fix it, it'll totally break at the worst possible time.
If it were me I'd figure it out now while there's no pressure.
