Hoster 3.006

[tymzend]

Hey Folks,

I loaded up 3.006 on Monday night, and when I got to the gig Tuesday, as if by magic, my dual display wasn't working again (it worked fine 5 minutes before upgrading). Yup, the same problem that has been happening to me every time I load up a new version of Hoster.

Believe me, I know these video settings inside and out by now, and they are set EXACTLY the way they are supposed to be.

Could the upgrading of Hoster have changed anything?

I did a system restore back to when I reloaded everything on my PC a couple of weeks ago, and everything worked fine, and the gig went off without a hitch, going back to Hoster 3.000. The only thing that got put on the PC since I reloaded everything was the Hoster upgrade to 3.006. So, my logic tells me that the loading of the upgrade has something to do with the dual display not working. This happens everytime a load a new version of Hoster.

Yes, I can see the boot up screens on my singers TV (so everything is hooked up right). When I start a song, the singers display shows up on my PC (small window), rather than being extended out to the TV, acting like there is no TV hooked up.

Any ideas, again? Or, am I just cursed?

When this happens to me I just drag the singers display to the Tv. Just click and drag it to the left it should enter your tv screen. Then resize it by the corner of the box. Sometimes this happens on an upgrade. I've done it a few times. It freaked me out the first time it happened to me at a show. I hope this helps.

when you say "wasnt working" .......you meant ???? the singers display wasnt on the singers tv ?

i forgot what video card you were using.

Yeah, the singers display wasn't on the TV. It stayed on my PC screen.

The Video Card is ATI Radeon 9200.

You know how when you run your PC without a secondary display hooked up, the singers display shows up on your PC screen in a resizable box that you can move around? Well, when I have the PC set up at home, I just move it to the upper right hand corner out of the way, and size it so it fits up in that area.

When setting up, I hook up a secondary monitor (i.e., singers TV), turn on the TV, and then the PC. I then start Hoster. When I play a song, the small window on my PC (the singers display that I put up in the right hand corner), disappears off of the PC screen, and displays on the Singers TV. That's the way it's supposed to work.

Well, last night, I started a song, and it stayed there, and never extended itself out to the Singers TV. The Singers TV was blank.

Then, when I did the System Restore, back to a point prior to Hoster 3.006 (to Hoster 3.000), it worked fine, and displayed itself on the Singers TV.

Party of One, I'll give that a try.

Thanks

did you try double clicking the screen ?? that generally moves it to the singers TV.
