trouble with hoster and laptop

[dhkluesner@clas]

I have an Acer Aspire 5570-2067. Intel Pentium dual core processor T2080 (1.73 GHz; 533 MHz FSB, 1 MB L 2 cache), Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 160 GB HDD. I have Hoster 3.316. I hope this is enough information.

Thanks for responding.

Not quite. Which operating system...XP or Vista?
By no graphics on the screen are you meaning on an external screen (TV) or the laptop's screen?
For the audio, make sure all your volume controls like WAV, CD, etc are up (Mic and Line-in should be muted).
Be sure you have the latest drivers for your video and audio cards. You should be able to find updates at Acer.
Be sure you have all of the updates from Microsoft. Use the Custom update and get all of them as the Express or Auto update will only install what Microsoft deems as "critical"

I have Vista. I can see the program but no words for the songs show up on the little screen in hoster. Does that make sense?

I will go to Acer and Microsoft and get all upgrades.

What type of files are you trying to play? i.e. Are you using kma files or are you trying to play from a disc? If kma, are these kma files you ripped on your laptop or desktop? I do know some laptop cd drives will not work importing karaoke... mine is this way. I have to have a separate external burner in order to import on my laptop. This is why I do all of my importing on my desktop to an external hard drive, which I then connect to my laptop.

I copied my songs to an external drive from my desktop. When that didn't work, I tried copying them directly on to my laptop. I am still unsuccessful getting them to play.

I uninstalled the program and reinstalled but that didn't help either. I am about to loose my cool with this whole thing.

I was so looking forward to start playing small venues but I don't guess it's meant to be.

Thank you again for you reply.

I may be way off base. If so I apologize in advance. Have you went to the Tools Menu in Hoster and selected build songs database and made sure you selected the correct songs folder?

[dhkluesner@clas]

Yes, I have tried that too. I even took my laptop to the Geek squad but I think I know more than they did and that's not saying a lot. LOL.

I just went through the audio control panels. I couldn't find the .wav and other ext that was mentioned in the other reply. I have vista so I am in a learning mode with it.

Again, thanks for the reply. I so want to get this going.
