Hoster 3.006

I see. When I move the singers rotation list over, I move it to the right, as far as I can until the mouse won't move it any further. Seems to work.

I'll be doing some debugging on this today or tomorrow afternoon. I'll promptly post what I find.

Once again, you guys are the best. I have a bunch of stuff I can try now. I do appreciate you all taking the time to post on this subject.

the bottom line is, there is something wrong with your video card.

That's funny I just realized I must be focused on moving to the right, as that's the way mine works. I always tell folks to drag to the right even though I know it can be either direction

Guess I'm going to have to watch myself in the future


Thanks DJYale for the info on the display properties...never gave it much thought.

Take care,

I swap mine back and forth depending on where I have my secondary set up. Just feels awkward dragging off to the right if the display is on the left ...

Dunno for certain, but one would almost think if he's seeing the extended desktop, as he appears to be, the video card would be working, and the connection is good.

well the part when he double clicks on the singers screen and it fill the whole monitor would lead me to believe that its not.

Clarification - When I check the extended desktop, there's something you can do to verify, where a 1 or 2 comes up on each screen, to show which is primary.

I get the 1 on my PC, and the 2 on my singers screen.

Extended desktop and video card seem to be working fine.

This is probably just all something that I'm doing differently.

Ended up getting sent out of town over the weekend, so didn't get a chance to try it out.

I'm betting that maybe dragging the singers screen over and resizing is going to do the trick.

I've just never had to do that before. Don't have to do it with 3.000, so why with 3.006?

Try dragging the screen over to the TV and then Double click on it there and lets see what happens.

Last night, that worked (dragging the screen off and double clicking).

2 weeks ago, that didn't do the trick.

Like I said before, it's most likely operator error, or me just doing something different.

I had never, ever had to physically drag the screen off and expand it, prior to last night. I have made numerous updates, and the singer's screen would always just automatically appear on the singer's display when you start a song.

Now, I know that when it doesn't (for whatever reason), drag it off the PC screen to the singers display, and double click, and it should work.

What a relief!!!

P.S. - There have been a couple of minor audio skips in the last couple of weeks, but they seem to only happen early on in the gig. Not sure if they are a result of putting Norton on the PC (it's disabled when we do a show), or if there was a Windows Update that goofed something up with the sound card drivers.

[Beavis]

you can always roll back the drivers.

Dragging and double clicking has always worked for me.

I've found if for any reason, the "EXTEND MY DESKTOP..." block in the DISPLAY PROPERTIES, SETTINGS box becomes unchecked, simply checking it has not always done the complete job. I've always had to do the drag and click bit over again, that's why I suggested it. Then the setting would remain persistant, and the dragging wouldn't have to be done over again, until that settings box became unchecked.

I guess it all depends on whether a restore, or a reboot may have been done when that box was unchecked...dunno just speculating on that one, but I do shut down often, so a hard reboot is done at least three times a day, so who knows?

Never have figured why that box would have become unchecked in the first place, unless I've on occassion inadvertantly done a restore back to a time when it was unchecked, causing a self-perpetuating condition(more speculation).

Norton could be causing the drops in audio, if it is doing things in the background while the show is running.

You might try to disable this from booting on startup and see if that helps.

[Beavis]

do it through msconfig.

[tymzend]

I will try that and see if it works.

Thanks!
