Not quite sure exactly what you mean by taking up the full screen. Do you mean they cover up the Marquee and SND or fill the entire center section of the show display?
As far as the Instabuttons have you tried the Stop button to the left of the Instabuttons?

all i see on my computer screen is the video... takes up the entire screen... no contrls to be seen... and yes i know about the stop button... but i can't get to it beause as soon as i hit the instibutton the video goes to full screen on my pc screen.

What version of Hoster are you using?
Before you hit any other buttons, go to Tools/Options and click on the Reset Displays button. This will shrink the display screen back down to a smaller size for a single display.

i'm useing dual display... the video shows on the tv but also takes up my entire computer screen... and it is only doing it every once in awhile... sometimes it plays on the tv and not my computer screen and sometimes the other thing happens...

What version of Hoster are you using?
What type of video are you using for your Instabuttons?
Are all the ones that show on the main screen instead of in the display the same type?
What is your operating system (XP, Vista or Windows 7)?
Run a System Information and copy the information from the Summary screen to a post here. This will tell us a lot about your computer. It will be under System Tools in your Menu.
Until we know this information I can't go any further in figuring out the problem.

I agree with Dale that this small fix will take care of your problem.

My Operating system is XP... all my videos are in WMV format... could it be the size screen wise that is making them do this cause some of my smaller videos are not doing this... but my longer ones are.

I am having the same poblem as moonglow, I upgraded three of my pc's to 4.11 one of them work just fine, the other two everything works fine on the tv, the marquee, singers name,and the video is where it should be but, I get a full screen on my pc's and have no control on Hoster. It seems that two programs are runing at the same time!

Jim we have never gotten an answert out of Moonglow as to what version he is using of Hoster, but since you are using 4.11 there are a couple things you can try.
One is go to the Show Display and make sure the Preview is set as Docked, close Hoster and re-open it.
Second got to Tools/Options and click the "Reset Display" button.
These should put the Preview window back in its corner. Then try some videos and see if they behave. If you normally use the preview undocked and resized, then try doing that again and see if the videos balloon to fill the whole screen again.

Have you tried Jim Sargeant's fix?
