Vista/XP

[JNS02]

Dale, I ran a show (one man) last night and it turns out to be quite a few songs (30%). I will as I said before wait until 4.10 is released before doing anything else. I will run 3.4 on songs that don't play right.

Any particular brand? Or something common to all?

Dale, It seems to happen most on Chartbuster and DK but I have had a few Sound Choice lag,

If I cound find a way to get rid of the .NET framework update and go back to 4.03 I would be a happy camper. I was very happy with it the way it ran then. Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy with MTU. I just hate Vista OS. But like I said, I'll wait for 4.10 and if still problems, Vista must go.

And if I haven't said it lately, Thank You Dale. You are a big help.

The next release will be more stable and should be much better on the sync. As far as getting rid of .net Framework Microsoft isn't going to allow that as that is their baby and they have made it a necessary part of the OS for both Vista and XP.
How far out of sync are you talking about and which way? Are the same files always out of sync or is it random (this time it is and the next time it isn't)?

My girlfriends' brother in laws second cousin once removed on her fathers side {the Jay Jasper Family} the one's with all the buck tooth young'uns, is a member of the Geek Squad... so he claims. Just funning with you Douglass

Once i removed the player that Napster installed on my laptop, and my anti virus software, along with all the junk it had on it. My laptop syncs now like it's suppose to with the latest version of Hoster. I never go online with my show laptop. Just a thought.

That makes him twice as dangerous!!! I wouldn't trust the Geek Squad with my calculator much less my computer.

The lyrics highlight a full line behind where they should, always behind. Chartbuster starts off behind on the first line put seems to catch-up before the end of the 'page', then starts off again on the next screen. DKK is behind the entire song and never catch up. Always the same songs everytime, never bad one time and OK another. Like I said. if 4.10 is still lagging, Vista goes.

Thanks Dale.

This may not work since it isn't all of your song files, but I would try it and see if it helps.
Open Hoster 3.4. Open Tools/Playback Offset. Set it to -0.5. Close Hoster 3.4 and open Hoster 4.06a. Try some of the songs that are lagging and then try some that aren't to see if it affects any of them. If it is affecting both then it won't work because you will throw the majority of them off. Go back and reset the offset to 0.
This offset control has been added back into the next release so you won't have to go between the programs to set it. For now setting it in 3.4 also sets it for 4.06a.

I'll Give it a try
