<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> Open the application, click on 'Settings' then 'Configure OpenLP'. Under General tab, make sure that you have selected PRIMARY monitor for output. You can check 'Display if a single screen'. You should see a full screen when you go-live and if you don't, I would check your video resolution (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-your-screen-resolution).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">The hidden words that you talk about is also indicative of a screen resolution issue. I am not sure what size of monitor that you are using and since you only have ONE display, if you are using a switch or something to output to a projector?!? It would help to know more about your setup.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">The last item about the spacebar should be resolved by clicking on Settings, Customize Shortcuts. Scroll down to LIVE TOOLBAR then make the change to 'Next Service' to be the spacebar. To do this, highlight Next Service, tick the CUSTOM option then left-click in one of the long bar-like buttons with the wrench icon in them. Hit your spacebar and you should see the wrench change to 'spacebar'. Click OK and when you want to go to the next item in your service list, you should just hit the spacebar. Is this what you are wanting?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">On a side note, if you find that you can't see video but you can hear it, make sure that you have the codecs for the file (MPEG, AVI, MP4, FLV, etc) first. I have installed the Combined Community Codec Pack (free) from http://www.cccp-project.net/ to solve most of my codec problems. You MUST reboot after installing for changes to take effect. If you still don't have video, then check your Windows Media Player version. Personally, I have found that WMP9 works best on OpenLP but I am not sure why. So, if you have version 11, you might want to uninstall it which will roll it back to v9.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Keep in mind that I am not an expert on OpenLP nor a developer, but I have been troubleshooting 1.9.6 ever since it came out in regard to the buggy video issues.</p>
