I have a question. When you have your TKaraoke in dual mode. When the video is displayed on the second screen, with the Retain Aspect Ratio option, do your video displayed correctly for 4x3 or older video? On my setup, it always do stretch mode. If I changed to stretch mode and then back to retain aspect ratio, then it will display correctly. But when it starts a new song, or starts the song again, then it goes back to stretch mode. I have this problem both on the desktop and a laptop.

Thank you for reporting this issue. This is a bug in the current version of TKaraoke. It will be fixed in version 1.4.0.080.

Thank you for the new version. Just downloaded and tested yesterday. Didn't realize you had the new version done so fast. The dual screen 4:3 display problem is fixed.  I also appreciate the program info displayed is removed. There were a few times the display covered up the words for the song when the song didn't have a long intro. This alleviate that problem. Thanks again for a great program!!

I tried to run TKaraoke on dual monitors. Very cool feature, thank you. However, my big DLP screen goes blank when it plays the next song. To work around, I have to double click on that big screen. My HTPC has ATI Radeon 9800 pro video card, should I update the driver? Any advice? Thanks.

I hope this helps you.
Don't run the big screen at 1080, use 720 or 768.
If that doesn't work then try this:
When you run TKaraoke, don't expand the program all the way to the right. Leave about an inch on the right of your desktop. Enable the dual screen, expand the right side and bottom of the video window to fit you DLP. Leave the left side of the DLP video window on the desktop screen. Basically, don't have the video all inside the 2nd screen, have it overlap on the desktop screen. This is how I have mine working in extended dual screen mode.
The other way to try is to have your dual screen in horizontal stretch mode, where the 2 screen act as 1 big desktop. Run you TKaraoke on the small screen, and the video filled the big screen.

Thank you so much ThangMitCon.  I am able to combat the blank screen issue using your advice above. I first set my DELL monitor as the main display, and DLP TV as the secondary, then select horizontal stretch mode with resolution 1280x480. I also make sure the TKaraoke window not to cover the entire screen. Dual screen works great now!
