Thanks to your help, and thanks to Roy's help, I can now use my new Lenovo laptop and my Acer netbook to run Hoster and Microstudio with dual monitors.

Last year this solved my problem of garbled graphics when I connected another monitor to my Lenovo. The full troubleshooting help is on this page: http://forum.mtu.com/showthread.php?t=12892

Just a few weeks ago I had tons of problems with my Lenovo and with the help of folks on this forum I was able to get it back into shape to use Hoster. That is, before I tried to connect my second monitor.

When I connected my 2nd monitor the monitor was not recognized by Hoster, but the program was fine. I noticed the driver for INTEL Display Adapter was undated and the NIVIDIA driver was updated. So I tried to install the NVIDIA driver 285.62 which last year fixed the problem, but it FAILED to install.

With the current driver installed, Hoster has the same old graphics problems, so I deleted the NVIDIA driver and Hoster works, as long as I don't need to have dual monitors. I doubt the problem is a Hoster problem, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.

Thanks,
Wes
