If you look at 4.11 changes over 4.10 there is nothing that can cause the out of sync. Have you tried the audio adjustment (Playback Offset) in the Tools/Options utilities?
If you are trying to use the Background Audio and/or the Visualizations I suggest try turning them off and see if the karaoke is in sync without them.
To go back to 4.10 (which caused crashes and was the reason for 4.11) you will have to have a copy of the Hoster410setup.exe file on your computer. You will have to be connected to the internet to install it (Upgrade) over the 4.11.
Just to clear up the requirements it says a processor running at or greater than 1.3 GHz but does not say anything about a Dual processor. This has been in place since at least 4.08. As more requested new features are added the more processor power and resources needed to run the program.

Thanks Dale, I set the Playback Offset to -0.5 and it is now work great.

I am in this same boat myself. Was running on Vista with NO problems at all, then upgraded to 4.11 and now my swipes are lagging behind. I looked in the manual and saw the hoops to jump thru in the settings and was preparing to do that just now, but checking the forums first. I too will go adjust the offsets and see if that helps before going thru the big settings changes.

I too set my offsets to -0.5 and that seems to have fixed the issue...will tell you after the next show if there is any deviation from that news, LOL!

When do the crash? How far into the show before it starts?
What are they doing at the time it happens? (searching, importing, just playing songs, what?)
Information on the computers? (O/S, RAM, processor speed, other programs open, etc.)
In other words we can't help or MTU can't find the problem if there are no details for them to try to test and duplicate.
