OK. I got it and I see what you are doing and it is several things.
1. First thing is you sent the Showdisplay.jpg with the Lyrics Tab (green) open. Changes here will only be seen in the Preview and on the TV when a song is playing.
2. According to the settings in those pictures you have set it to 1 line with 3 singers across (3 singers per line) for the Lyrics screen. Additionally you have it set to show the Name and Title for each. I don't think this is what you want because it won't do that even if you shrink the font size, because it will only put 40 characters across the screen. If all you wanted was the names that would fit, but not both. If what you are wanting is 3 lines with one singer per line then reverse the numbers.
3. The screen you have are showing (middle of the Hosterscreen.jpg) is the Intermission screen. This is also showing in the preview. These settings will change as soon as you hit apply. From the looks of it you have the this one set to 3 singers with 1 per line, but it is hard to tell since you only have one entry in the playlist. These settings are done from the Intermission Tab.

It appears the SND is resizing correctly according to the size of the display window you have open but your center graphic needs to be set to stretch so it will resize also.

It also looks like the "center graphic" area is small because the "font on the Marquee" is set too large.

Just an observation, but screen picture #1 also has "Hide" checked, so that the SND won't display at all while a song is playing (lyrics view).

He also shows a picture with the "Preview" tab pressed and may not realize that no changes can be made from this screen (only "undock & resize").

Hope I'm not adding to the confusion.

Hello again, I did what you both said and now it works great. Thinking about it why do I have to worry about how many lines I have as I have it set to hide when playing the songs. Thanks again for all your time and bearing with my annoyance. I now know why the preview screen is blanked out. Alan

Your first picture is the "Lyrics" view where you have the SND checked to "Hide" while playing a song.

But your third picture is of your Playlist. It also shows a small "display" screen, which means it's not hooked up to a 2nd TV. In that view, it clearly shows the SND in the bottom of that window - that means the SND must be unchecked (NOT Hide) & this is probably the "Intermission" view.

We are telling you all this, because when you started this thread, you said you were having trouble doing this:

Hi again, I have everything working now very well on both screens. Only problem is something made my laptop to lose necessary files for windows to start and now when I try to install hoster again it won't let me says already installed on two computers???

[ddouglass]

I am guessing this means you had to reinstall Windows, which means you lost all your programs. Since you were unable to uninstall it before the crash, you will need to submit a Support Email to get MTU to reset the registration code. You need to include the computer name you assigned to the computer when you originally installed/registered it so they know which one to reset. Don't know how far behind they are right now on tickets but it may take a few days.

Thanks, thyat's what I thought and it is the same computer name Alan
