Solution: The problem has usually nothing to do with vanBasco's Karaoke player - the error you get is probably the sympton of a misconfigured display system. For details (including instructions how to fix the problem), check out the following links:

I discovered this working process in a trial. I notice that vanbasco would not work on Windows 7 and I said to myself I wonder what would happen if I install it on an external hard drive or flash drive and that's how I found out it could run on a portable platform.
Thank you for informing me! I'm using Windows 8.1 Update 1 x86, but I failed to change with PLWMidiMapper the default midi to VSC32 which is XP software, but with your help Vista midi tool, I changed default midi and listening VSC3.2 demo songs with windows media player!
First, I failed to change default midi mapper in windows 8.1 update 1 with PLWMidiMapper, but in here, in the comment I found Vista midi tool above and succeeded, I'm now listening with Win media player default with VSC3.2, I think actually PLW way is dead, but midi mapper itself isn't dead so, in some other way that changes base is possible.
I tried the popular vavBasco player and after going through all setup options, it does not work on my windows 8.1 Asus laptop. vanBasco seems to also have given up, with proof that they haven't updated their software since 2004
All I wanted was to be able to to play simple midi file songs through vanBasco with windows 8 and since I can't figure out how to find and install .sf2 files into VirtualSynth I'll need to try something else
After manipulating the window size of theWeed GMG soundfont agreement, and then accepting and installing the Weed GMG soundfonts, CoolSoft Virtual Midi Synth / Weed GMG 3 soundfonts / and vanBasco Player are all playing nice on my windows 8.1
There is not only windows mapper that disappeared in W8, the internal windows mixer (which allowed plugging multi instrument on the same output) also disappear. Then if I plug a guitar tuner on a speaker (the tuner is just pass through, from microphone input to Speaker output), I can no more plug anything else on the same speaker.
i have the same problem with windows 8...none reaper and zynewave podium are working...i've tried installing bassmidi, virtualmidisynth, and other 2 programs to change midi device...now i have installed 4 different midi devices, but the programs just dont give any sound...why????? someone can help me?
