Hoster 3.006

[Party of one]

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.

[tymzend]

That only expands it onto the PC screen.

[Beavis]

it just sounds like your dual display is not turned on. are you sure you updated your video card from its own website and not windows update drivers ?

Make sure that the 2nd screen is part of the extended desktop [settings>control panel>display>settings>] click on the secondary monitor and make sure that the box for "extend my windows desktop to this monitor" is checked.

Then you can drag the singer's screen onto the 2nd monitor and double-click it to make it full size.

(wanna freak out your pals? Put the singers screen on the monitor at half size then double click it.... it'll be full size.... THEN... when someone you know gets up to sing and you want to mess with them a little; double-click it again and it'll be half size.... the words will be almost too tiny to read. It's a hoot!)
