This laptop has 1 gB memory with a 256 mB shared video card that has always played videos well both on virtual dj and hoster. I do keep virtual dj minimized.

Hey Bryant,
I see the same thing on Test Machine#1. I'll check my show machine at tonights gig.

Is it causing a problem for you? I can't make it cause a problem on mine.

I usually move that cursor around pretty fast and maybe I did "two things at once" in that split second where the hourglass was showing.

I used the 4.06 the other night. For the first time ever I had sync problems. Music stayed out in front the lyrics. Tried restarting and still made no difference. Used 3.40 rest of the night. 4.05 worked flawlessly. I do have windows media 11. I will try reverting back to 7. If that doesn't work I will go back to 4.05 and stay there awhile.

My laptop is a dell 1505 XP 2 gig ram and 128 video.

Did you try using the old player (option)?. Try It and check again your audio and video synchronization.

Not sure what you mean by "old player option." I did roll back to WMP 10. Lyrics still out of sync. For the time being I went back to 4.05. Works perfect.

Kelly,
Go to Tools/Options and at the bottom of the box there is a button to switch between the "Old" player and the "New" player with a description of the differences.

I've been using WMP11 ever since I stared testing Hoster 4.XX with no problems. This seems to apply to computers with fewer resources. WMP11 is a resource hog but works fine when it gets what it needs.

Oh, it's that 1.8 gZ duo processor. It actually works better on videos with virtual dj, than a much newer model of the same brand, and it does this with a lower model video card too. The newer Dell laptop I have has a NVidea 7300, which has been known to freeze up videos with VDJ.
