Question Help with the Preview Display...

The Preview Display...I'm not sure if that's what it's called...what I'm trying to do is to stretch the little monitor on the computer screen that has the lyrics on it, as the screen is almost split in half which makes the
lyrics too small to read! I don't run any displays or marquees, so I would
prefer to be able to see the print (of the song playing) on my computer
screen. I was able to stretch it before, but now it's now giving me any
arrows to stretch it! Does anyone know how I can stretch it or get the
arrows back, to be able to stretch it, again?
Thanks so much!!!!!

Hey Debbi,
Got to Tools > Show Display > Preview and check the box that says "Undock and Resize Display". Close Hoster then reopen it and you will be able to make the preview window as large as you like.

Question Still need Help

I tried your suggestions....I'm on a Vista computer.....I went to Tools...
Show Display...Preview...and checked the box that says "Undock and
Resize Display"....then I clicked Apply...then I closed Hooster and reopened, then, I got nothing in the display box! The words didn't come up at all and by double clicking on the little window, I'm still not able to
make it any larger and it's not giving me an arrow to try to make it larger, either....but, first, I guess, now I need to find out how to get the words of the song back on the screen! Do you have any suggestions?
Thank You!

Question Show Display

I can get the lyrics on a second TV....When I do as Madjim suggested, which was to go to Tools, then Show Display and check the box that says, "Undock and Resize Display, Apply, then close Hoster, when I come
back, as long as I have that box checked then I don't get any lyrics on the computer display....if the box is un-checked then I get the lyrics on the computer screen....but what I want to do is to make the display bigger so that I don't get a half chopped screen (for the marquee stuff--I don't need that, anyway)....I use to be able to get an arrow that would allow me to expand the little Display window, which would make it more readable, but now I can't even figure out how to get the arrow back...what am I missing? Maybe Madjim knows?
Any suggestions, anyone???????
Thanks!!!!

Hi,

It sounds to me like you might want to check out weather or not your mouse is working. If it's wireless the battery might be to low. Just a
thought. I guess if your in here its working.

This is a bug, I just found in the software today.

Here is how to Fix this.

This is located under the Tools Menu, Show Display, Preview Button

If it will not allow you to resize this, then try doing these steps, as there is a bug in the settings for this, that I have found.


1) Open Hoster with the window docked, so no check in the above box.
2) Go to Tools, Show Display, Preview, check the box to Undock and resize the display, click apply, then click Close.
3) Shut Hoster Down
4) Reopen Hoster and the Window is still docked.
5) Go to Tools, Show Display, Preview, uncheck the box to Undock and resize display, click apply, then click Close.
6) Shut Hoster Down
7) Reopen Hoster
8) Go to Tools, Options and click Reset Displays. Click Save
9) Close Hoster, and Reopen it.
10) Go to Tools, Show Display, Preview, check the box to Undock and resize the display, click apply, then click Close.
11) Now the Window will be undocked, and resizeable.
