Hoster is geat and i have used it since release but i cannot understand why there is so many problems with key changer and video display, I have another dj software package which I wont advertise that does not have any of these isues regarding video display and key change but still is no where near as user friendly as Hoster or as stable.

Many Thanks

Hoster is going through a double transistion right now. Vista has caused a major amount of problems that have slowed down the upgrading of Hoster's video and audio. Hoster 4 has a totally new player and sound manager needed to allow MTU to add the new features such as Crossfade and Tempo change that we users have requested.
Getting this working and stable for Vista and XP has been a major challenge for them. When they fix something for Vista it breaks in XP and back and forth. Microsoft screwed up so many things in Vista that even they don't know how to fix it and will be abandoning it next year.
Now to your problem when you move your singer's display to the second display are you double clicking it to jump it over or dragging it and resizing? Some of the users in here have found that by dragging and resizing the display and making it not quite full screen has kept the video in sync in both locations.
