No they don't conflict. That was what I was saying. I have all three versions installed.

Dale, Do you think 3.0 (w/XP) is the way to go?

[ddouglass]

I have it and I don't have any problems with it.

One other thing I recently noticed, it seems when I am only using my LT screen, the lyrics are in sync. When I hook up the second monitor it seems (and I need to test more) I have these problems. The other night at a show, I had an intermittent popup in the tray about an internet connection and when this was up, my lyrics seemed to be out of snyc. I read in someone's earlier post that 2 monitors was a load on a video card (I have an nvidia on the machine in question) and to set your graphics to 16 bit instead of 32. I have done this but have yet to test it. Now I have installed net framework 3.0, downloaded a graphic card updated driver, and reset resolution.......If it works I may never know which it was!! By the way, I can't tell any difference in the 16 bit.

There is only 3 people in the country who could, and they work for the paint manufacturers.

Make sure to let us know if this fixed your sync issue. It would be valuable to others who read this thread later.

I had an out of sync issue once and it was when I had forgotten to stop some services before starting my show. I run XP on a Toshiba laptop with 2 GB of ram.

Before each show I disable my wireless connection and exit all open programs including anti virus. I then go to Control Panel and Open Administrative Tools and then Services. I stop all services that are not needed for the show. This includes Automatic Updates, Anti Virus services, Microsoft Defender, etc.. This should not cause you any issues as the services will restart when you reboot your machine. Enabling and disabling the network connection is a manual thing but quite simple to do.

Pretty much anything that could pop up or start trying to access something when your in the middle of a show. Since you only need to run hoster, there is no need for an internet connection or any of the services listed. Since I started doing this I have ran several 7 to 8 hour shows with absolutely no problems. I have Hoster 4.05 running on the above mentioned Windows XP machine.
