KHPRO Text not showing Windows 7

This has not only been the case for KHPro but for Hoster and Microstudio as well. It appears the last set of firmware/drivers for Nvidia had major problems with a lot of programs.

This is not true. I too had this problem with my NIVDIA GEForce 8800 GTX and purchased and installed KHP version 5.00 to try to get the program to work in Windows 7 x64. It does not fix the problem. None of us can "roll back driver" if the driver we have installed is the only one we ever installed on our OS. The oldest driver available for the NVIDIA cards on their website is dated July 21, 2009. When I installed that driver, the problem was not solved. I have a dual-boot system and the program does not work under XP Pro SP3 with the original driver that came with the card (this driver does not work under Win 7 since it is not a 64-bit driver).

Using the cop-out that the NVIDIA drivers are somehow "bad" as stated in the help topic referenced above is an excuse for not wanting to deal with advanced graphics cards (I must have a CUDA-capable card for other software to run effectively). I have at least 50 programs installed on this PC and NONE of them have ever had any problem with the NVIDIA card. Now I apparently stuck with a $25 upgrade that won't function under any circumstances on this PC.

If someone has an _effective_ solution for this problem I would like to know what it is. And while I am at it, what is the "older NVIDIA driver" referenced in the help topic? it isn't the driver that is on the CD that came with the card (which doesn't work in Win 7 x64 anyway). Name of the installation file, please, or driver name and version so I can possibly find it online.

Also where is the "disable UAC" topic in the help section? I can't find it. I am guessing this is irrelevant to the NVIDIA driver issue since it is not necessary to disable anything to uninstall or install display adapter drivers in Win 7.

Are you experiencing the same problem as joelhek who started this post as he solved his problem with the driver issue or is your problem a different one ? If your problem is different to the above then give us proper details as to what it is.

As to the disable UAC. This is one path to it, Start/Control panel/User Accounts/ from the open window select change user account control settings, select the slider and select never notify then OK. You may get warnings after this but ignore.

As I said in my post, yes it is the same problem, and no driver that is on NVIDIA's website fixes the issue. That's why I asked which driver specifically works with KHP.

Roy Dennis · #5 October 30th, 2010, 12:33 PM

Sorry I can't help you with this as I don't have nvidea graphic card. Hopefully someone else may answer your question. Try sending joelheck a private message, he may be able to help.

Submit a Support Ticket from the main MTU web page. They may be able to help you. Just because this fix didn't work for you does not mean it doesn't work for others. With all the computer and set-up variations available what works for one may not work for another.
There is a brand new driver listed for that card as of 10/25/2010. You might want to try that one. They may have fixed their problem with this one. No guarantees but it is worth a try. Neither of the previous 2 users mentioned whether they were using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7, so no way to know if what they found worked will work for you.
Have you tried any of the other ones listed between July 2009 and current? It may not be the oldest that works. It may be one of the others and will require you to test them as well. This problem only popped up this year and MTU did quite a bit of research and trial to figure out that the current driver at the time had a flaw in it.

I tried the most recent and oldest versions of the driver on NVIDIA's website. I really don't have the time to try them all (there are many). I will try the support people, thanks.

Not sure if you've solved this issue. But you might make sure the lyrics are not too big for the window. Had this same thing happen to me a few years ago. Had to reduce and pull them over. I try not to import from word pad now. Nothing but headaches. Only takes a minute to type the words in as slow and bad as i type.

When a new problem appears, we look at it ASAP. NVidia has been a thorn in our side FOREVER... not just the latest cards.

I just downloaded the demo as I am looking into a karaoke creator for a few tracks I have of my old band.
I get the exact same problems as described above. Hoster, Microstudio both work fine, but KHPro (demo) does not at all. Split second graphic flash of the words & then black screen (no the words are not the same color). Have tried 'rolling back' my NVIDIA driver to no avail. Have tried all suggestions above - again to no avail.

KenKelley · #11 November 17th, 2011, 06:46 PM

Have you tried a newer driver for your Nvidia?

I keep it updated for testing purposes normally so that isn't an issue.

I've been using Nvidia's latest for my model card and have had no problems with any of MTU Software.

Hi there,
I have just encountered the same exact problem with KHPro. I initially thought the problem was related to running 4.11 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I purchased and downloaded the upgrade of KHPro 5.01 and see the same problem with it. I have an nVidia card and tried downgrading to the prior version of the driver, but that did not work. My symptoms are exactly the same as what was reported previously.

p-buchanan · #15 December 25th, 2011, 12:40 AM

I just downloaded and installed the latest nVidia beta drivers for my laptop, and that seems to have resolved the problem! Thanks for the info.
