When using dual monitors in OS mode, if the Pulsar is in the secondary monitor,I cant see the menu bar (File, View, Windows, Help & Devices).It just disappeared.
While working in Pulsar mode, it works fine.

Any idea ???????????????????????????

My system: CUSL2, P-III 1000, 512MB Scope SP boar, Matrox 550 with latest driver.

a) Try going to your 'View' Edit page. Can you adjust the size of your window? Try to reduce it to make Pulsar appear fully on your second monitor.
b) If you maximise an explorer window, I suppose it nicely fits on screen. Does it? Or is resolution/size out of monitor range?

The monitor range is fine, again, in Pulsar mode its ok but the problem eith menu bar is in OS mode.
Another bug I have is when using Pulsar mode and Pulsar view at the secondary monitor,
the yellow massages does not appear altough it excist.
For example:
when trying to exit the software "Do You Want To Save Your Project?"
When changing ULLI settings no massage apear and so on.

Same problem here, and those dialog from Open..., Save, exit, deleting a module, all those dialog don't appear no more!!!

It unusable! I have to go back to 3.0.. Sh... A bug patch release that's creating again MORE bugs? Man, do they have quality insurance at all?

Well... a another day lost configuring stuff...

I got this bug in 3.0 and 3.01 - the only solution I could come up with was to plug the main monitor I use (17" for Logic) into output 2 of my Matrox G400, and the secondary 15" monitor (at 1280x960 resolution ;>) into output 1. This ensures that in OS mode (which is the only mode worth using IMHO) the Pulsar OS always appears on the smaller monitor. I got Logic to appear in the larger monitor 2 by configuring its screensets so that all of them occurred in that screen. This system also has the advantage that Logic gets the whole screen without any taskbar etc taking up screen-space.

It all works great now (WinXP, Pulsar 3.01 and Logic 4.81) and I don't have to fiddle with anything anymore :smile:

It seems that the cset.ini is screwed-up! Just a thought!
