Now, with 4.04, on the intermission screen, the video portion is slightly cut off at the bottom as expected, the marquis shows clearly, but the SND is completely gone.
You would think although the video is cut off just a little the SND would still show as usual, but it does not. Somehow the cutting off of the video part due to the difference in resolution doesn't allow the SND to show up at all.

My wife likes her resolutions this way, her VDJ program only takes up 2/3 of her monitor, as does Hoster, and it gives her room to put notepad sidelists of the rotation on the screen in easy view.

Is there any way to make it so the different resolutions can be used and still be able to see the SND screen. She doesn't mind the slight "cutting of the video" on the secondary, but would like to see the SND display on the bottom, too, as she does see the marquis on top.
QUESTIONS:

1. What font are you using in the SND? If it is Arial Black, that is a faulty font that doesn't have the "height" parameter for the characters. It won't size vertically as a result.

2. In the Show Display Video VJ View, do you have the "Graphic" middle section set to "STRETCH"? If not, do so. This tells Windows to automatically adjust your "graphic image" (lyrics, video, graphic jpg/gif, etc.) to fill the AVAILABLE SCREEN AREA that is allocated to the Graphic area... Marquee and SND cut into that available area if they are enabled.

Yes, I am on "Stretch;". The only way I CAN see the SND is if I equalize both the computer screen and the second display to 1024 x 768; but she really likes to keep the computer screen at 1280 x 1024, as I have previously explained why.

I'm really winging it here, but it's almost seems like the SND is somehow attached on to the bottom of the graphics area, and when a little gets cut off at the bottom of the graphics(due to resolution change), the entire SND goes with it.

Oh, in my prwvious messages, I did mean to say "Graphics" area, not video area.
