Wow, confusing, huh, Iif you have disabled the graphics card and am sure it is completely disabled from the device manager, that card cannot work and should not be able to use that hdmi port (as I can't when I disable, extended screen is black...but I can with clicking on "run with processor Intel HD3000 as you do too).
That's really weird, did you disable from Device manager?hmm??

That might tell us that when the nvidia is completely off there isn't a problem, which sort of means nvidia nvidea drivers right now are a little buggy (with Hoster, anyway).

maybe Roy can add to this now. Chime in Pal!!

Not having had one of these graphic cards myself I'm learning from you

Yes Bryant the card is disabled in device manager, and all is good now, so yes it looks like the nvidia drivers are not working with hoster.

I also am having problems with a garbled preview screen. The bar I work at recently purchased a new PC and upgraded to Hoster 5.07.

ASUS Desktop PC CM1740 Series
Windows 7 with service pack 1
AMD A6-3600 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.10 ghz
memory 4 GB
1 TB hard drive

The singers screen is run on the onboard HDMI output through a splitter and amplifier to 3 HDMI TVs. The singers screen is clear and works greats. The preview screen keeps posting lyrics over the top of the old lyrics without clearing first. I have updated all possible drivers on the PC. I can live with the garbled preview screen but would like to get it cleared up. Any ideas?

I only work weekends so any changes would have to wait until the weekend to try.
Thanks

I can only suggest you try to see if you can do as mjekaraoke suggested that worked for him read from post #20 onwards.
Other than that do you have vga out on that computer if so use a vga to composit converter and run from that to your external monitors, I have never had any problems using one of these types. http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2

DoubleD,
Interesting, although only knowing little about programming, I was beginning to think that this problem was allocated only to nVidea optimus technology(use of combined integrated and dedicated video cards) in laptops, with perhaps buggy nVidea drivers (although I have tried them all). I see you have a PC desktop with an AMD video card!! Is there another integrated card with that unit, by chance?

Bryant,

That is the only video card in the Desktop.

Just saw this thread- interesting. I run Hoster on a Macbook Pro with Bootcamp and Windows7 and have never had the garbled problem until moving to Hoster 5+ series. Occasionally the grbling clears up, but mostly the screen is overprinting whether docked or floating. I also after the last update have had to unplug other input sources (cable bx, PS3) from the LED tv to keep the signal strong to the monitor without seeing rolling dark bars. I split the Mini-disp port to two vga and never had the problem with 3 or 4 series Hoster. Hmm.
