Bernie,
I agree with Jahern that under normal circumstances the "windowed" mode serves no apparant purpose. That's why I default to full screen mode.
The main reason MTU added the "Windowed" feature was because Microstudio will now run in dual display mode***. I guess some are using it as an inexpensive way to do Karaoke shows. It occurs to me though as I'm typing this, that if that's the case, then perhaps the "muting " effect is in fact a bug. Then one does have cause to wonder why that's not been reported before. You guys could just be right
Would suggest that you post on the Microstudio New Features Forum your desire to have the "muting " effect removed in a future upgrade. You never know.
Was glad at least that through this discussion, you found it was not your system..
Take care,
George
