They do list that card in the supported versions. However this is a beta driver so be prepared to go back to Vista.

Dale, I have already tried that one. The problem is I could not get it to recognize singers monitor. I have already gone back to Vista. Spent 14 hours yesterday getting everything reloaded. It was a pain. I will stick with Vista on this computer. Thinking of building my own show unit. 4.08 seems to be stable so I still have the BEST KARAOKE PROGRAM to run. Thank you for everything and if I knew how, I'd close this thread.

Your welcome. Sorry we couldn't get it converted.
I have built 3 of them and the best ones have been in "Shuttle" style cases. This makes them small, compact, and easy to carry. The only real restriction is that you have to use one of the smaller compact size motherboards as the full size boards won't fit. They are harder to work on because of the confined space but to me it is worth not having to lug a monster case around.

Shows have run flawlessly since 4.08 install, but I have noticed since trying to use XP on this laptop and then going back to Vista system is running slow and sluggish. I know this is not a HOSTER issue. I just wanted to report that this version is solid. Singer refresh issue being fixed is a big plus, lyric sweep was solid in last 4 shows. Thanks MTU for all of your hard work, Dale for all of you help and knowledge in computer and Hoster. I'll get use to Vista. I only use this computer for KJ/DJ anyway and you all seem to have Vista's issues under control. Once again, THANK YOU

Defrag your C:\ drive. Microsoft is the worst at installing their own systems and are always fragmented badly. Also remember any of the tweaks you did before have been reloaded so you will need to go back through and get them too.

I've been trying to get all of the tweaks taken care of. I will defrag later tonight.
