Help with the Preview Display...

[Debbi]

I just read over all of everyone's suggestions....Thank you all, very much, however, nothing has worked for me! Anyways, a few weeks ago, I was able to get an arrow and stretch the display to make it readable, but now I can't do that....don't know why....very strange!!!!

Debbi, do me a favor and go back through the checklist and make sure everything is still set correctly. I have a feeling some update or just Vista itself has reset something you changed previously.
If nothing has changed try uninstalling and reinstalling Hoster.

Hey Debi,
Are you trying to resize the preview window while 4.08 is running? If so this can't be done. Any adjustments made to the preview window (and the show display) have to done when a song in NOT running.

Debi,

I did some testing for you.

Let me rephrase everything just to be clear, my last post didn't sound good when I read it back.

You can not resize or move the preview window while a song is playing in the playlist if the Show Display is full screen. When the Show Display is full screen, adjustments to the Preview Window have to be made when a song is not playing. If the Show Display is not full screen (you can see a border all the way around it), you can move and resize both the Show Display and the Preview Window while a song is playing in the songlist. (Of course The Preview Window has to be undocked. )

This applies to a computer without a second monitor hooked up but with the show display full screen on the computer monitor, you won't see anything else.

If you double click the Show Display while a song is playing in the playlist the song will restart, not a good thing when somebody is singing.

That sounds better to me, I hope it helps!

Hi,

It sounds to me like you might want to check out weather or not your mouse is working. If it's wireless the battery might be to low. Just a
thought. I guess if your in here its working.

This is a bug, I just found in the software today.

Here is how to Fix this.

This is located under the Tools Menu, Show Display, Preview Button

If it will not allow you to resize this, then try doing these steps, as there is a bug in the settings for this, that I have found.


1) Open Hoster with the window docked, so no check in the above box.
2) Go to Tools, Show Display, Preview, check the box to Undock and resize the display, click apply, then click Close.
3) Shut Hoster Down
4) Reopen Hoster and the Window is still docked.
5) Go to Tools, Show Display, Preview, uncheck the box to Undock and resize display, click apply, then click Close.
6) Shut Hoster Down
7) Reopen Hoster
8) Go to Tools, Options and click Reset Displays. Click Save
9) Close Hoster, and Reopen it.
10) Go to Tools, Show Display, Preview, check the box to Undock and resize the display, click apply, then click Close.
11) Now the Window will be undocked, and resizeable.
