Video problems

[ddouglass]

He tried and it didn't. He should only be seeing the video on the singer's display on secondary monitor and not on both. The preview doesn't show any videos and he is seeing this second one as a full screen display. Confusing isn't it.
The only thing I can think of that would cause this is that WMP or another program is displaying it along with Hoster.

but if wmp and hoster are showing it at the same time it's going to be out of sync..

I don't think he is worrying about sync at this point because it is covering his entire screen so he can't even get to his Hoster main screen to stop it.

can he at least see the mouse pointer if he moves it on the singers/preview display?, if he can maybe by dbl clicking it, he might be able to re-size the display, or maybe he got the dpi setting to 120 which is the largest display, the normal setting is 96..

to change the dpi setting go to:
1. control panel
2. display
3. setting..then click on the advance tab

Ok Guys all your answers are great but here is exactly what is happening....
On my dual screen( the one the crowd sees) the videos, istabuttons, i have showing the marqee and the singers display while the video shows in the center. and yes i have gone to show display and told it to hide both marquee and singer display... but it does not do that!!
At the same time my computerscreen (the one i look at not the crowd) has the video taking up the whole screen and i can't do anything till the video stops.

Hiding Marquee and Singer's Name Display (SND) - As far as Videos are you referring to the Instabutton videos as stated before or videos in your playlist? These are two separate uses and as such are controlled in the Show Display on two separate Tabs. Instabuttons are played in the Intermission screen, so you would have to hide the Marquee and SND on that Tab. Videos in the playlist are played in the Video VJ so you would have to hide the Marquee and SND on the Video VJ Tab.
Computer Screen - The video taking up the whole computer screen is where the problem really is. Is the video problem only showing up when using Instabutton large videos or do videos from the playlist do the same thing?
Just out of curiosity, have you tried double clicking on the full screen video to see if it will go back to normal mode?
I think we are running out of ideas here. This kind of problem has never been reported before, so we are really digging to try to figure it out. I would suggest you put in a Support Email to MTU Support and see if they can figure it out.

How about. doing a system restore to where you had it working before
