Lyrics out of sync with Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT

This may sound like a strange piece of advice, but that happened to me at the last show; words and lyrics not in sync, I noticed that the battery icon was shown in the toolbar down below. What had happened was the power supply wasn't working and the laptop was on battery power. Hoster doesn't take to well to battery power.

Had to replace the power adapter/supply. Luckily I had a back there that night.

Maybe a simple reboot & shut down any unnecessary programs that aren't needing to be used. My test computer developed some of the problems you described & a reboot was all that was needed.

I tried everything that everyone suggested and the lyrics still lag behind except for sound choice songs, that only lag the first line of every page in the song. The video & audio on the vostro laptop don't support any acceleration adjustments. DXdiag doesn't have any acceleration sliders for audio nor video. Don't know what to do next. Anybody?

How much memory do you have on board? I had some sound issues until I increased my Vista machine to over 1 gb. Also, I turn off all unneeded applications while running hoster. This includes my wireless network connection, Windows Defender, Anti Virus etc.... You have probably tried all this. If so, sorry just trying to be helpful.

Good luck,

I have 2gigs of memory and a 2ghz intel core 2 duo processor on board. I have disabled all running programs I could possibly disable without affecting the laptop, still get the same problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the sound, video and Hoster numerous times but still have the same problem. I have configured Vista for best performance but then the lyrics on Hoster main display show garbled but not on the singers display. This only happens when i play Sound Choice songs. My Nvidia 8600M GT video and Sigmatel audio won't allow me to change acceleration either. I'm just about ready to put on XP on, but afraid I'll have the same problem. What do you guys think?

Have you ever worked with the registry? If so, what processes do you have loading at start-up? Also, what is loading from the Startup folder of the Start menu?

I think Dale is pointing you in the right direction. I did a google search on your computer and video card and there seem to be some issues with that video card. Although, issues you find like that on the internet are not always all that valid. It really seems to be a video card driver issue (just my humble opinion). I believe I would do a little more research and try to contact nvidia. 2 gb of Ram should be good. I just have 1 gb and Vista home on my Toshiba laptop and it works great. I do not know if Vista business is more of a memory hog.
