Need some help with dual displays

[George]

Ditto on what Flip said, and I'll add the only time I see a large screen on the pc as well as the small screen is when there is no second monitor or tv hooked up or turned on.

Thank you Flipeokee for your response. The first time I installed Hoster and ran the program, I got the control screen with the display in the upper left corner on the laptop along with a scond window which could be collaps by double clicking. This window showed what was being displayed on the second monitor, so I had the control window and a second window on the laptop and a display on the tv monitor. When the song ended, the monitor showed my desktop theme. Now, I only get the control screen with the display in the upper left corner, no second floating windon and when the song ends the tv monitor shows a black screen not my desk top theme. So if I understood what your said, my system is working correctly. So I'm not supposed to have a second floating window on the lap top?
Thanks again for your responses,
Bob

I just started to play around with the new upgrade of Hoster 2.213.
That little window you see in the upper left hand corner is resizeable. Just put your mouse over any corner and a double ended arrow will show. Or you can actually have two windows of the play screen. Just put your mouse over the small screen and hold down the mose button and move it.

I also found out that if you are in the full screen while a song is playing, and double clicked out before the song ends. You will have to double click to get back to it when you play the next song. The only way to get it to work right from then on, is to close Hoster and open it again. Switching from play to import mode and back won't reset it.

Now, could that movable window be the window that resizes to full screen when a song is played???

The little wndow in the upper left hand corner is the KJ's viewing screen and is NOT re-sizeable.

The re-sizable one is the singer's screen. It may be appering over the KJ's screen, but can be moved, re-sized, or drug off the screen to the right. Once you have another monitor, or tv hooked up and are in proper "Extended Desktop" mode, it can be locked into place and will remain there until you disconnect the remote tv or monitor, at which time it will show up again on the main p.c. monitor.

Hope this helps,

George

George is right. Only thing I can add is when you double click the playing Singer's Display, if it is in full screen mode, it will shrink to a resizeable, moveable window. You can resize it to whatever you want. Some users reduce it to cover the top or bottom half of the display, with an advertisement above or below it. When the song stops playing, the Singer's Display will disappear until the next song starts playing.

Well it appears I should have two windows present on my Labtop. One in the uper left corner and one resizeable one which is free floating. Well, that is what my problem is. I don't have the second resizeable window. I do get the display on the tv monitor but not on the labtop. I just have the little one up in the left corner of the program window.
I need some help resolving this issue. I have tried rebooting with the tv on but that does not help.
Thanks, Bob

There is only one re-sizable window, so it sounds like everything is as it should be, a small fixed window for the KJ and the remote re-sizable display for the singer, which you say is working..
