I have managed to get it working by doing the following which is however painful as is the following explaination, the process is to right click on the hoster icon and select "run with graphics processor" then selecting "change graphics processor" i then add the hoster program and select the high performance nvidia processor as its preferred processor, press apply and close. When i then run hoster the only way it works with good graphics on both screens is by again Right click on the hoster icon and select "run with graphics processor" and then select the integrated graphics (default). This all seems a bit strange, if i don't select the default prior to running i get the grabled grahics again. I have made some screen shots if it is easier to understand, can they be posted here?
Thanks
Marco

Whats confusing to me is that you said you just changed the default for hoster to high performance nvidea, because when I right click that second time on Hoster "run with graphics", it says high performance default, NOT integrated graphics default.

Yes it is strange as the nvidia icon in the task bar also shows it is using nvidia. Even thou to make it work i have selected the integrated. I have attached the screen shot hopefully it helps.

Hmm, really weird for sure! What is the setting in your " global settings".. The tab to the left of program settings??

Bryant, It is set for Auto Select. I have tried to change it to either the integrated or the High performance and no good. The only way it works is as previously described.

Okay, great. Thanx. I did exactly as you said and Voila! I got clear graphics on the laptop screen and clear on extended monitor using the hdmi coming from the nvidia video card. I am assuming, (although not 100% correct) that the nvidea card was working on the extended monitor and intel onboard on the laptop screen(which can't be changed). I am not sure if the onboard video card is diverting its signal through the hdmi out of the dedicated card or not. I'll let you know.

The other thing that worked was when I totally disabled the nvidia dedicated card from control panel and ran a vga adaptor from the Dell mini-display, then to a vga adaptor, then a vga cord to sibgers monitor and a composite wire from the adaptor to an audience lyrics. Very bulky equipment on the DJ table, however, and no use of this expensive video card.

Wow, I will have to make a FAQ on this for sure. Thank you for letting us know how you fixed the issue.

Bryant, I have also just disabled the nvidia graphics and I am using the hdmi output and all is nice and clear on both screens, so on my laptop at least it looks like they route thru the hdmi card no matter which adapter i select.

Wow, confusing, huh, Iif you have disabled the graphics card and am sure it is completely disabled from the device manager, that card cannot work and should not be able to use that hdmi port (as I can't when I disable, extended screen is black...but I can with clicking on "run with processor Intel HD3000 as you do too).
That's really weird, did you disable from Device manager?hmm??

That might tell us that when the nvidia is completely off there isn't a problem, which sort of means nvidia nvidea drivers right now are a little buggy (with Hoster, anyway).

maybe Roy can add to this now. Chime in Pal!!
