Now, with 4.04, on the intermission screen, the video portion is slightly cut off at the bottom as expected, the marquis shows clearly, but the SND is completely gone.
You would think although the video is cut off just a little the SND would still show as usual, but it does not. Somehow the cutting off of the video part due to the difference in resolution doesn't allow the SND to show up at all.

My wife likes her resolutions this way, her VDJ program only takes up 2/3 of her monitor, as does Hoster, and it gives her room to put notepad sidelists of the rotation on the screen in easy view.

Is there any way to make it so the different resolutions can be used and still be able to see the SND screen. She doesn't mind the slight "cutting of the video" on the secondary, but would like to see the SND display on the bottom, too, as she does see the marquis on top.
Hey Bryant,
Your're in full screen mode, correct?

I never run with the show display in full screen mode (I don't double click it). I make sure that my destop has a gif (or jpeg) up that has a black backbround. I use a black background on all of my screens. I move the show display to the TV and manually resize the window to fit the screen. I have to change it every week due to the new HDTV one place bough. Manually reaizing your show display should alow your wife to make the show display fit here monitor at any resolution. It also adds a nice border.

I hope this helps.

Jim
