James, I have to take the hit on this one. I'm sorry I told you this was going to be fixed in 4.05. From what admin says about the preview display being cut off in vista, this may be a while. At least your singers don't see it on the TV.

The lyrics are running better then they were in 4.04 but are still playing catch up especially with fast songs.

James, this sounds like a video card driver issue to me. Do you have the latest vista drivers for your sound card?

i tested this with the song "Boogie woogie Bugle Boy Sound choice

In 4.03 it is in perfect sync but in 4.04 it was way off and still in 4.05 the lyrics are playing catch up to the music

Another problem that has arisen is during install an error message popped up
saying error 1706 cannot find hoster source and when i clicked on okay the restart window popped up and I let it restart the computer

Hoster opened fine but the display window was cut off just like in 4.04 and the lyrics still out of sync!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I then re-installed Hoster and still got the same error message and on clicking ok the install restart window came up and I let it restart and opened Hoster to the same problems

To not see the 1706 error on istall (it's harmless) uninstall your present version before you install the new one.

Needless to say i had Hoster 4.05 installed less then 15 minutes and have already uninstalled it and re-installed 4.03

You did the right thing here.

James,
I'm sorry to hear that 4.05 did not work for you, thank you for posting your findings.

I don't recall hearing a report like this from any vista beta testers so I have to ask, do you have:

All custom windows updates?

Do you have .Netframework 3?

Windows Medoa Player 11? Some say it's not needed but it works well for me.

Do you have Internet Explorer 7?

Again, do you have the latest vista driver for your video card?

I know you are not new at this and I don't mean to offend. I want to post this information to help all.

I'm sorry I can't do more.

Jim
