Open Hoster, select a song, then play -- Both the small viewing area on top left and the big area that you would normally double click, the Lyrics lag. I don't even have to double click to put it on the monitor and it lags..Tried it in 16 bit color and it made no difference. I can turn off monitor 2, re-open Hoster and it's fine of course. And again, this didn't show up until 4.06....Short of buying a new laptop with a better video card, are there any other options? Thanks my friends.......

I don't mean to over-simplify - but have you tried doing your Display Settings before you do anything else? In other words, once you set up the 2nd monitor, you shouldn't have to do it again & it sounds like you have had to do this several times. Suggestion: set up your 2nd monitor settings & then shut down computer. Then, make sure the S-video is plugged into your 2nd TV & that the TV is on before you turn on the laptop. The TV must be on & plugged into the laptop, in order for the laptop to recognize it. Then, open Hoster. The display should automatically go to the 2nd TV. Unless you also use the laptop with "extend" feature turned off, you should not have to re-set it the Display properties.
