Dark Bar

[naiphan]

I am using window xp and recorded my karaoke music very successfully. But when I play in the karakoke machine it very strange in the machine. some of the music track was okey while some have dark bar about half inch from the top of the screen. Another one is the lyrics is on the bottom of the screen and with a dark bar cover the picture on the bottom.

I need help to fix this problems. Is there anyone experiencing this problems at all?

Can you please tell me about your computer.

1) Processor
2) XP Home or Professional?
3) Video Card
4) CD-R drive

Once I get this information, I will beable to help you more. I would say this is leaning towards the CD-R drive, unless this is a Plextor. Also what Brand of CD-R media are you burning on? We recommend using only Mitsui which can be purchased at www.mediasupply.com

You have not answered the questions yet.

To determine your CDR drive (Compaq is not the manfacturer), you need to click the Start button > Settings > Control Panel > System Icon > Hardware (may be missing some steps before this, or it might be different if not W2000) > CDROM Drives. At this point, you can see the manufacturer and model number. Record them here.

To determine your CDR media (the blank discs you bought), FIRST... make VERY SURE they are CDR, NOT... I REPEAT NOT... CDRW discs. It is impossible to diagnose a problem with CDRW discs. Then, tell us the manufacturer of the discs.
