Singer's Monitor not working

[cafaiella]

Hi there,
It's my first time on the MTU Community, and really hoping someone can help me with this.

I recently purchased a lap top (Vista o/s based) and I've loaded up Hoster. I've followed the instructions to a "T" in order to set up the "TV" (singer's monitor) display - but I still don't have any words showing up on the TV. The TV does display as an extention to the lap top and so forth...

Does anyone know, if there's something that else that I should be doing. I have to say, it's been a little discouraging, after loading up, what feels like a billion cdgs...

Thanks,
Carl

Is the display coming up on the computer monitor instead of the TV? If so when it is you can drag it to the other screen as Bob said or double click on it and it should jump over there.

The first thing that needs to be determinesd is if you're in extended desktop mode. Are you seeing anything on the t.v. even without Hoster running? You should be seeing your desktop minus any toolbars, shortcuts, etc. If you do not, then you are not in EXTENDED DESKTOP mode.
