To display it, you just double click the title bar and the singers db screen goes full screen, double click again to put it back to the bottom of the screen. If you are running wmp 11, try rolling back to wmp 9.

Ya, I see. I am doing the singer's database thing, but I really don't use it that much on that machine as I was mostly "S+'ing" singers to fill the database. First time I had used that at as show. Wanted to test laptop operation on Hoster 4 with VDJ in background.
Was hoping for some good discussion on this forum (which we are getting) and am glad to see the comment on wmp11 vs wmp9. Might try that rollback as you advised.
One of my freezes was found to be when I hit pause, followed by a "Play" instead of resume,
think I panicked and tried several buttons in a weird combination that created a freeze situation.
The other freeze may have been some random thing that stems from having VDJ minimized. I have also been noticing that when VDJ is minimized while playing a video, I can't feed hoster any info. I could before. I found the solution. Now, instead of having VDJ maximized on screen, I have it resized down just a little, and when I minimize it from that position, I can do things and put names in hoster playlist. I think now that most of my problem was simply because of having VDJ minimized from a maximized position.
I put this on the forum so those with VDJ and Hoster may coordinate their programs a bit better. It is also a bear trying to get laptops to run smoothly with VDJ as well.
I still do get that little 1/2 second long hourglass as I place the cursor on any playlist name. And that may be because when you do this, the order of singers has to adjust itself automatically. These little extra efforts from Hoster4 require additional resources over the older 3.xx versions.
The same laptop ran flawless last night at a 2 1/2 hour show. All conditions the same as the previous night, except I had minimized VDJ from a resized position, instead of minimized from a maximized position.
Would anybody have any explanation why that may have caused previous glitches between the two programs?
