When I play a CDG, the laptop and the second monitor are displaying the lyrics full screen. I lost the ability to continue setting up until the song finishes. Leaving the intermission screen on the main monitor ( Laptop) and resizing it under the Main Holster screen seems to allow the Main monitor to continue to be visible while the performers songs is played on the second monitor however even though the Next singer and time are checked they do not show up on the second monitor, Graphics card is nvidia Gforce ultra 6800 dual display card in the laptop.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. Also I thought I read that 3.321 would be installed with the 4.0 upgrade allowing me to jump back to that version if something is not working properly and I don't see it anywhere. I think you actaully call it 3.8 or something?

This sounds like you are set-up in dual mode (same on both screens) instead of Extended mode. You need to check your display settings to make sure that it is right.
If you are in extended mode, then try dragging the intermission screen back to the laptop monitor and when you have it there double click it. That should make it jump to the TV already in full screen.

The 3.4 version is in the C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster folder and the file is Hoster34.exe. Create a shortcut to this and put it on your desktop. That way you can find it easily to open it if you need it.
