Having a "capable" video card is a REQUIREMENT. Don't take it back!

As Dale and Skybird74 have pointed out, there are thousands of users running Hoster 4 in sync.

Truly, truly, truly... I wish there was ONE magic fix for everyone, but that simply isn't the case. Here is the new "computer requirements" I'm adding in the Hoster 4.10 manual right now (the table is way down below )

Computer Requirements	All Hoster Models
Windows XP Pro/Home + SR3 or higher, not Windows 98/ME/2000. Hoster can run with Service Pack 2, but it is always recommended to use the latest Service Pack release, which at present is SP3.	Yes
Windows Vista + SR1. Install ALL upgrades when released.	Yes
Microsoft Media Player V9 or higher for XP, V11 for Vista. WMP9 uses less system resources that may allow a slower computer to run Hoster better. Hoster uses WMP to display the graphics/lyrics/video screens to play still and motion video graphics formats supported by WMP.	Yes
DirectX 9.0b or higher - Windows XP and Vista require this to run. See this Troubleshooting Guide to enable DirectX to run Hoster correctly and avoid the "Fire Events From Script Line 40" error.	Yes
Microsoft Internet Explorer - XP needs IE6 or higher, Vista includes IE7 (click your Start button then "Windows Updates" and select CUSTOM [not Express]) Hoster 4.0x uses Internet Explorer to display the Show Display and the Preview Display.	Yes
Computer RAM - Hoster can run with less memory, but Windows performance will suffer and some functions may take longer to execute. RAM is cheap and makes your computer run better.	WinXP - 1GB 2GB Recommend Vista - 2GB 3GB Recommend
Processor Speed - Hoster can run on 1GHz processors, but Multiplex Key Change and Tempo Change all at the same time may require more. We recommend running with a 2GHz or faster processor since Hoster 4.xx uses the latest technologies for maximum professional appearance. Celeron and AMD processors are prone to losing audio-lyrics sync as they get hotter. Some lower end laptop's power supply does't have enough power to keep everything running correctly. DO NOT even upgrade to a faster processor as this has been proven to over-stress the power supply.	2GHz+
Graphics Card/Chip Performance - This may be THE most important component for Hoster 4 to run with lyrics-audio in sync. Get a card with at least 128MB ON-BOARD MEMORY! ATI's 128MB HyperMemory card is misleading as it only has 32MB on-board memory, and it "borrows" the rest from slower Computer system RAM, with inferior performance. Find a card that has at least 128MB ON-BOARD MEMORY, and 256MB or more is better.	Yes
A Network/Ethernet port or card - The computer must be connected to the Internet to install and register Hoster, but not to run.	Yes
A sound port or card - One stereo output port is required. If you have two stereo ports, you can listen to songs through headphones while playing a show with the Search dialog Preview Play.	Yes
A dual display card - Highly recommended to reduce stress and pressure on you!	Yes
1024 x 768 display resolution - Highly recommended for maximum efficiency.	Yes
A CDG Capable Reader Drive - MTU CDG Certified Burners	Yes
