Video problems

He is getting it in both locations with the one on the computer showing at full screen.

Sounds like he might have it in clone mode and; some video cards allow you to operate your players in "theater mode", which means when you are playing something from a player such as wmp, or any other, and even when in clone mode, that everything playing on the player will show up on the secondary screen "fully".

won't re-setting the video display fix this?

He tried and it didn't. He should only be seeing the video on the singer's display on secondary monitor and not on both. The preview doesn't show any videos and he is seeing this second one as a full screen display. Confusing isn't it.
The only thing I can think of that would cause this is that WMP or another program is displaying it along with Hoster.

but if wmp and hoster are showing it at the same time it's going to be out of sync..

I don't think he is worrying about sync at this point because it is covering his entire screen so he can't even get to his Hoster main screen to stop it.

can he at least see the mouse pointer if he moves it on the singers/preview display?, if he can maybe by dbl clicking it, he might be able to re-size the display, or maybe he got the dpi setting to 120 which is the largest display, the normal setting is 96..

to change the dpi setting go to:
1. control panel
2. display
3. setting..then click on the advance tab

Ok Guys all your answers are great but here is exactly what is happening....
On my dual screen( the one the crowd sees) the videos, istabuttons, i have showing the marqee and the singers display while the video shows in the center. and yes i have gone to show display and told it to hide both marquee and singer display... but it does not do that!!
At the same time my computerscreen (the one i look at not the crowd) has the video taking up the whole screen and i can't do anything till the video stops.
