Microstudio2.612 When I try to play a file from hard drive or cd the display
screen just blinks up then goes away the sound plays fine. 2 month old
mtu rackmount computer. Any ideas ?

Goonie,
I have ask this same question and have got no reply but, I think I figured out what it might be. There was possibly a change in Dual Screen Mode or something. You might try setting your video to single screen mode and see if that fixes it. Or perhaps hook up a second monitor and see if you get Microstudio to appear on monitor 2.
Hope this helps! If not, maybe someone will chime in.

Goonie,
Did you have the Second monitor plugged in when you tried this?

Version 2.612 has the Dual Display in it, 2.613 no longer does.

It also could be that the screen has been moved somewhere, where you are unable to see it now.

WARNING! DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Be sure you follow this exactly. If you delete the wrong Registry Keys, Windows on your computer could be damaged, requiring it to be re-installed.

Left click the Start Menu and click Run.

Type in regedit and click OK or Open.

Go to the very top of the Registry Editor. It you already see the Registry
Keys expanded below, skip this step and go to the next step.

Click the + beside My Computer.

Click the + Beside HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Click the + beside SOFTWARE

Click the + beside Micro Technology Unlimited

Click the + beside Microstudio

Click Default to select it. WARNING! Be VERY careful to have this exact location selected. If not and you proceed, you could damage your Windows installation, requiring it to be re-installed to fix it. BE VERY CAREFUL! With Default selected, press the Delete Key Click Yes when it asks you if you are sure.

Click the X in the Top Right corner to close the Registry Editor.
Open Microstudio. It will be as if you started from scratch.

Hey MTUSUPPORT,
Why don't I have a link to upgrade Microstudio v2.612 to v2.613. Is this a $39.95 upgrade. Every since I upgraded to 2.612 I have had the problem listed below with monitor window flashing briefly and dissapearing. If v2.613 fixes this problem (that wasn't suppose to be in the first place) then that's what I want to do but I don't want to pay for it.

Wally,
This problem was the fact that prior to 2.613 supported Dual display. Version 2.613 no longer supports Dual Display.

His problem was that the Second monitor was not showing the screen, as the screen got hidden from View somehow. So clearing the registry entries fixed it.

Can you tell me exactly what your problem is?

[Wallymeister]

My problem now is that when I upgraded to 2.612 I no longer could see the graphics on the little screen at the top left of the window. (it would flash real fast and dissapear) That was because I didn't have a second monitor hooked up, now that I have a second monitor hooked up I can see the graphics. But my problem is, "Why can't I upgrade to v2.613 for free?"

But, Why can't I see the graphics on the little screen and the 2nd monitor?


Again, when I upgraded to v2.612 the link said exactly that but the file that was downloaded said 2.611. When I go to Help>About it says 2.611. So something is definately wrong in Chinatown.
