4.05 Video Question

[Steve Bauer]

Dale, I unplugged the show display, reset displays, and restarted Hoster. I now have both displays on the Hoster page. I am able to undock and resize the preview screen but still have the show screen there as well. Am I hopefully missing something simple?

Latest is......I stopped the second screen through the intermission tab. Now, I can't undock the preview screen. Have clicked the undock button and restarted and also "reset displays." While the show screen was on the Hoster page also, I could undock and resize the preview screen but after double clicking and sending it back to the second monitor, the preview screen is locked in place and can't be resized.

The latest......on my second machine, everything works fine. I can undock and resize the preview screen. Please advise should I go to the download page again and try downloading 4.05 again? Is this possible? Looks like I have a corrupted program as the backup machine works.

Sorry, this is getting old. This applies to my main and backup machines both using XP with 2 monitors that both worked fine with 4.03. Both are currently doing the same right now. When I first started up my second machine, it worked fine but after 5 minutes or so, it does the same as the primary machine. My problems appeared when I upgraded to 4.05. I can reset display and both the preview and show screen appear on the hoster screen. At this point, I can drag and resize the preview screen. After I drag the show monitor onto the second monitor, I lose the ability to move or resize the preview screen. There are no songs playing. I can double click the show screen to minimize or enlarge.....works fine. Also, the "Undock" box has remained checked even though it won't undock. It seems that Hoster thinks that when the marquee is on the show screen that it is playing and won't allow movement. I know this is a lot to read but I need help!! Anyway to re-download 4.03?

Steve this is why you should save the downloads instead of running them.
Instead of double clicking on the singer's display to get it back to the second monitor try dragging it over then resize manually to as close to full screen as you can. That might allow the preview to be "undocked and resized.
Not sure what else to try as I have not run into this. For our shows we have not needed to undock it and resize it.

this has nothing to do with 4.05 since i havent experienced the problem hs getting, i tried ( testing ) 3.4 last night and i got 3 screens!, my main ( laptop) screen works and so was the preview screen, but there was nothing showing on the 3rd screen, no big deal ( i may not have to use 3.4 anyway ) but just wondering..
