Hoster only will maximize

[micbob4]

I have tried all that and when restore or click the button to the left of the X its know where to be found. When I first started up Hoster the video intro with hoster would start blinking and then give me an error message. The only way I could get Hoster to run was to click something in hoster to stop the video intro then it would be fine. Now when I start hoster the second monitor shows up but the only way I can see Hoster on my computer screen is to maximize it.

Are you saying there is nothing to the left of the X? There should be 3 symbols in that corner. A minus (-), a double box (sorry can't draw it), and the X. The double box is what you should be clicking.
The video intro is necessary to initialize the video player for any video files you play. This file is a WMV type of file. If it errored (not knowing the error message) I would suspect the codex is bad or your Hoster install was bad.
With a combination of the two problems, I would start with removing and re-installing Hoster. When you do there is a check box on the personal information page at the bottom to clear the registry entries. Check it when you do the re-install. You will have to reset up any Instabuttons, modifications you have done to the show display and any settings you have changed. This will clear the previous setting for the window size and reset it to default.
What operating system are you using?

I have an easier way to fix it. Increase your desktop resolution. Right click on empty space on the desktop, chose properties, then the settings tab. Set it to the max size (set the slider to the biggest number) After you change the setting, you should see the Hoster window. Now move it to the upper left and make it smaller by dragging the corner. Then change the resolution back to where it was, and you should be fine.

Sorry, Yes there is a button next to the X I meant when I click it Hoster disappears instead of coming up in a smaller window.

Dale,
Is it possible that her smaller sized screen(the one created by the button just left of "x") has been pre-made as small as possible and hiding just out of view?

There should be 2 next to the X. But anyway your best bet would be to reinstall Hoster as I listed above.

Even if it was set to the smallest size possible you would still see the top bar somewhere just above the taskbar. Try it. You cannot make it completely disappear and only be on the taskbar with that control.

I was wondering though, if that real small bar could have gotten dragged deep below the screen edge making it nearly out of sight. I have done that before with icons and other pieces of programs on the desktop before.

It is possible if your taskbar is set to Auto Hide then you could feasably hide it behind the taskbar or maybe on the secondary screen. If that is the case then re-installing with the registry clearing will fix it.
