completely unresponsive tech support- can any users help??

You are only allowed to install hoster on 2 computers total. Not 2 computers with 3.30, and 2 computers with 3.301 If you have it on one computer now, it will be considered an update. That is one installation.

I am not MTU, But I do know how things work.

Thanx guns, and yes you are quite informative. That's why I am peppering you with questions while you are on at this time? Do you know anything aout messageoke pro( It is an enhancement to Hoster and should be allowable for discusion here if it improves the sale-ability of the product). Anyway, when messageoke displays, it only uses two thirds of the second screen size, do I need to look at preferences or settings somewhere so it fills that second monitor screen?

I have never used it. I used microsoft publisher to make a Company flyer, and have that for wallpaper. Any time a song isn't playing, my face and brochure is in front of the audience. Real good exposure. I have had them calling me from memorizing the number on the screen.

I see, I have used another laptop and video switch to show anything (pictures, ads, videos, etc) on a big screen even during songs sometimes. The singer's monitor always shows the words though. I haven't started to use Hoster yet, prepared to go with it on Feb. 12, however.

Ok....... but my way, you only need 1 laptop, and no need for the video switch.

Experiment..... it goes a long way.

Yes, I see, but can you play complete videos, slideshows of performers while they sing on a different big screen across the room at the same time? All this on microsoft word, wow!?

And to add, I take pictures of singers, have them downloaded and put them up at the very end of the song,(or during their song on a bigscreen) all while the singer is singing, and maybe even put it to simple slideshow mixed in
with their previous performances. Showed an elvis impersonator's picture once along side a video of elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, kept his picture on top of video. Some ppl request I play a video(of the song they are singing) while they sing and they try to get ppl pumped up and on the dance floor

Well,
I guess you will find out when you start doing the shows. It is nice to offer all this, but at the rates they pay around here for a 4 hour show, that is hauling around a lot of equipment, and jumping through a lot of hoops, that will get you nowhere. I find the customers would rather have you stay on the mixing board and make them sound good rather than play around wiht videos and such.

I even bought a vocal enhancer that keeps the singers in tune, But it really isnt worth the Hassle. I just play, and let them sing, and they are happy.
