Lyrics Screen is Blank on secondary display

Hi All,
I have Hoster running on a Dell XPS 702L Laptop with an I7 processor, 6 Gig of RAM and an NVidia GeForce GT 550M graphics adapter. This laptop only has an HDMI video output (no VGA). If I run the secondary screen from the built in HDMI output, it works fine.

Most of my customers would like me to be able to connect to their large flat panel displays, so, I have purchased a Sabrent USB to VGA Display adapter that allows me to add a secondary HDMI or VGA Adapter to the laptop via USB. I plug that into a Kworld PC to TV converter, that converts a VGA signal to an AV or S-Video output. The AV cord plugs into the AV input on the flat panel. When I try to display hoster on the seconday display (via a VGA cord or AV cord), the lyrics display is black. The Intermission screen works fine, as does everything else I display on the secondary screen. It is just the lyrics that seems to have trouble. Any ideas?

I notice that the secondary Sabrent display also has problem displaying a video played via Windows Multimedia Player it seems to work if I click on the display, but not if I just let it play. This happens even if I just play it using HDMI, with no video convertor.
