Hi

Probably a dumb question but can a Mode -16 (full screen) window be minimised & stay minimised?

As well, can the display be moved to another monitor without making it the PC's main monitor if you have more than one compatible monitor (obviously)?

Otherwise, a great program.

Thanks
Brian

Hi

Bit disappointed that there were no replies one way or the other.

Anyway, I went back to Normal Mode 16 on one PC a while back & did the other one I've got running this morning after Windows decided it wouldn't connect to my network without re-booting. It needed more updates anyway.

Losing a bit of screen space at the top of the screen is not that much of an issue and is probably a better option anyway as it gives more overall flexibility with the program etc.

MMB4W has been very stable since running continuously on the 2 PC's since March after some initial teething problems mainly relating to Comms & my programming. (MMB4W did not seem as forgiving as a CMM2 running a similar program, but applying the MMW4B fixes to the CMM2, improved it's Comms performance as well).

The only outages have been for Windows updates, MMB4W updates & the accidental hitting of the Reset button on one unit.
