Probably Not A Hoster Issue

[JNS02]

Dale, Jim or any other of the very knowledgeable people in the Hoster Forum. I have downloaded some funny videos and commercials that I use during shows. I just started downloading them as flv files and converting them to mpg. The problem I'm having is that they play fine if the singer display is on the laptop screen, but if I move it to the external display (via s-video to rca to a tube type TV) it comes out as a black screen. All of the videos that I have used in the past (mostly from other people or from Limewire) play fine. What am I doing wrong?

Dale and Admin. I now have a stable running Hoster on this Vista piece o' crap. Thank You Very much. Many new comers to my shows look at this setup and just say WOW.

Thank You, Jack Ward

Are the others that play ok MPG?
Could be the resolution of the secondary. What do you have it set at?

Yes, I am sure. I have this issue resolved. I convert them to WMV and all is great. I think it is a VISTA issue (it's not but I like to blame them) I bad a mistake during the show last night and blamed Vista, but the knew it was a KJ mistake.

Vista is the fall guy anyway, so they might as well take the blame.

It's always easier to blame Vista for problems instead of fixing them. I've noticed the people who use Compuhost don't have problems with Vista.
