Singers display window

[lmcmains]

I installed 2.219 today. Everything else works fine. I had the singers display window working. I moved it to the singers display and loaded three songs and it showed them all. I moved the pointer to the singers display to move the window a little, and it disapeared. I can't find it. I have restarted the program and windows and it is sill gone. Anyone know what might have happened to it.

Same exact thing happened to me. It shows that the singers name display is enabled and all the settings are correct but the singers name display window has disappeared.

I even reinstalled 2.219 hoping it would restore it but this window is nowhere to be found.

It happened when I was resizing the window. I did notice that it exited to the right and turned a lighter color then disappeared.

I have ben trying to get the display to show onto the TV and have followed the instructions in the manual and in another thread I started on the singers name display. I followed them exactly and I could never get it to show up on anything but my monitor, and never together as shown in the manual.

I thought I was fairly frustrated until the singers name display went away never to be found again. Now I'm really frustrated.

Mine also went to the right side of the screen and not to be seen again. I have tryed everything and I can't find it. May have to call gost busters to find it again. At least the program still works good. I hope someone has the answer.

Why don't you guys try going into TOOLS, then click SINGER'S NAME DISPLAY, then in the pop up, uncheck ENABLE SINGER'S NAME WINDOW.

Exit the program, go back in and double click the SND button.

See if that will bring the window back from wherever it went to.

Flipper, on the other thread, they meant the remote t.v.(off to the right) not the kj prevue window.

Thank you for the reply on the TV location. I have been calling this the Singers Display Window (that is what it is called in the manual) so I was getting kinda confused.

Just wanted to make sure that I was working with the correct window, and I have been. I can't seem to replicate what others posting on this thread have had success with. I will keep trying.

NOTE: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! You must make sure that you follow this exactly, if you delete the Wrong Keys in the Registry, your computer could be damaged.

The Only thing that you can do to fix this is to Delete your Persistence, for all of Hoster.

Here is what you need to do.

1) Left click the Start Menu. Click on Run.

2) Type in Regedit. Click Ok or Open.

3) Go to the very top of the Registry Editor, click the + beside My Computer. It you already see the keys below then you will not have the +. So you can skip to the next step.

4) Click the + Beside HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Click the + beside SOFTWARE, click the + beside Micro Technology Unlimited, now click the + beside Hoster. Now left click Default, it should now show as selected. NOTE: If you do this in the Wrong place you could Completely Mess your Computer up!

Only when Default is selected, press the Delete Key. Now Click Yes when it asks you if you are sure. Once this is done, click the X in the Top Right corner to close out of the Registry Editor.

Now Open Hoster, and it will be as if you started from scratch.

Thank you very much. I went to the regedit and now everything works fine.

In Hoster 3.0 we are making the Preview Window, Singer Names Display and Singers Display have minimum sized height and width parameters so they can't shrink to "non-selectable" as they now can.

Glad this fixed it for you guys.

[bowfishn]

Glad it worked for you guys, it didn't do jack for me my window is still gone.

[flipper]

did your window disappear in the same way that ours did?

We were both trying to resize the window when it went away. Was your window showing correctly before it went away? If it was not, be sure that the SND Button is green.

Just a thought...

I moved the window to the bottom of the page and it just rolled on off the bottom. Yes the send button is Green and I have shut down restarted and turned the window on and of and on again, still nothing.

I have not installed the Dual Video card yet, I am just loading on songs and checking how things are running. The Singers Names Window showed up at first and then as I said when moving it down to the bottom of the screen to get it out of the way for a bit it just fell of the edge of the earth.
Really like the Program though, it should really cut down on time and disc handling, making it easier to run the show.

A couple of thoughts:
Try moving your cursor below screen level and try grabbing it with your mouse.

Try changing your screen size (smaller- i think) . That might make it visible.

I've had to do both these at times to pull back icons that got pushed off my desktop.

mindonstrike I have tried these things already and so far no go. It seems the singers window has fallen into the Digital Abyss.

[bowfishn]

Just Went back and for grins and giggles tried deleting everything in the Default folder as was laid out in the dirrections. This time it wiped out everything and I had to rebuild database, now I have My Window Back.

Thanks for the Help Guys

Go up in this Post and do the information in the post about the Registry, it will fix this problem.

I had the disapearing singers window problem too, I did the regedit thing which seemed to take care of the problem. After a week I just turned my computer on, the window is there, but no matter what I do, there is not text (Song or Singer) I've run my show a couple of times without problem, but without a singer window. I'd kinda like to have it back. Any suggestions?

I lost my window a fortnight ago and have tried everything including Regedit, but nothing brings the window back. Decided to wait until Hoster 3.0 arrived as admin had stated that the Preview Window, Singer Names Display and Singers Display have minimum sized height and width parameters, to stop them shrinking to "non-selectable". And guess what - my window is still missing. Any more ideas.
