Used to display info on a second screen

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/930-or8itals-hyperspin-helper-software-2nd-3rd-display-controller/

Features:

- Will display game / controls information on a secondary display

* Displays logos for system, game, genre, and rating

* Displays actions for each button if available (mame, but could work with others following same format)

* Displays primary control (4 way, 8 way, steering, spinner, etc)

- Makes sure all windows stay in place going into and out of emulators so there is no screen shifting (some emulators cause this today)

- Removes the taskbar whenever hyperspin starts (and restores it when it closes). This is for folks not running fullscreen.

- Primarily using assets already present in hyperspin. No dual maintenance of files / art when possible.

- Runs in system tray. Automatically shows when HS launches and hides when HS closes.

- Shows a "please select game" / splash graphic when between games.

- Display marquee images on screen above main screen

I have been working with this program for the better part of a day.  It has been relatively easy so far. I have one problem. I only have two folders on my FE Mame and Daphne. Mame works just fine but when I launch Daphne the marquee image on the second screen disappears. If I use the windows key to toggle in and out of the program it will return and stay like it's supposed to and when I exit Daphne the HS screen's resolution is messed up even though the resolutions all match. Any advice would be helpful, thanks in advance.
