Vista/XP

If it is only a couple of songs it has to be their recording, not Vista or Hoster. Even the producers aren't perfect.

The songs that I tested were ones that ran fine before the .NET Framework update. I tried to do System Restore but I got an error message "Unknown Error Occured'. That is when I decided to update to 4.06 (Which I could never get to work right) which now seems to be OK for most songs. The songs in play fine in 3.4 which I will use if need be. Because of that I feel that it is a Vista/Hoster Issue (More Vista then Hoster) I would also consider the "Dual Boot' but that also means wiping out everything (I have already saved files on an external drive).

Dual Boot shouldn't wipe everything. I don't have a detailed list of how to set it up but it can be done. Dual Boot if I remember right would actually require 3 partitions, one small one as the startup and the two O/S partitions. I think you would have to uninstall the Hoster from the Vista partition and re-install it on the XP as the program would not work with both from one location.

Dale, I ran a show (one man) last night and it turns out to be quite a few songs (30%). I will as I said before wait until 4.10 is released before doing anything else. I will run 3.4 on songs that don't play right.

Any particular brand? Or something common to all?

Dale, It seems to happen most on Chartbuster and DK but I have had a few Sound Choice lag,

If I cound find a way to get rid of the .NET framework update and go back to 4.03 I would be a happy camper. I was very happy with it the way it ran then. Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy with MTU. I just hate Vista OS. But like I said, I'll wait for 4.10 and if still problems, Vista must go.

And if I haven't said it lately, Thank You Dale. You are a big help.

The next release will be more stable and should be much better on the sync. As far as getting rid of .net Framework Microsoft isn't going to allow that as that is their baby and they have made it a necessary part of the OS for both Vista and XP.
How far out of sync are you talking about and which way? Are the same files always out of sync or is it random (this time it is and the next time it isn't)?
