singer search slow

When I access the singer search while someone is singing, it takes a while to come back with the requested singer and sometime halts the display screen of the karaoke song while the singer is singing. This just started a couple of weeks ago. I have deleted files from my computer to give it more space but that didn't seem to help. I have a Dell XP 2gb hard drive with a 500gb external harddrive where I have stored my karaoke files. Thanks.

You have probably made a mistake in your above statement when you say you have a 2gb hard drive on your dell computer. I exspect you mean memory.

There are several things you could do, check how much free space you have on your c:/ drive they recommend to have at least 25% free, defrag your hard drive, another thing that can help is to leave the window open but minimize it to the task bar till you need it.
The more you add to it the longer it will take to open, you may want to edit it if it's getting unmanageable.

Re: singer search slow

Thanks. I have already deleted stuff from the computer, defragged my hard drive, and I do leave the window open. I am running 4.21 but I will be upgrading to 4.32 next week. I'm hoping that will take care of it. I am going to start deleting some of my singers and or selections this weekend also.

Re: singer search slow

What Roy was saying about too much is if you have a lot of singers with a large amount of songs for each then it will be slow to open and can cause problems if it is a very large selection.

Re: singer search slow

Well, my singer database got corrupted last night in the middle of my show. THe name title completely disappeared and I couldn't add anything to the singers database. Adding was not a problem for me since it would put the song on the list to sing. It was my fault as I deleted singers from the database after I deleted their songs in the Hoster search. That wasn't a good idea. Now I've got to find out how to reindex the database because I don't want to add the other singers back. ANy suggestions?

Re: singer search slow

Afraid you've lost me here. Are you adding singers from the search dialog or from the main screen book id widow or some other way?
When you say "Title" completely disappeared, are you referring to the Title tab at the top of the search window or the column Title below the key change buttons in the search window ?

Or are you referring to the Title column on the main screen or some other Title ?

You delete singers from the singers tab in the Singers database.
If you just want to delete some of their songs not the singer select the songs tab and delete from there.

When you say you deleted songs from Hoster search, how did you do that as there isn't a delete button there.

Or did you mean Hoster Edit dialog ? If you deleted songs from there then they would have to be re-imported.
