Observation
 

Hey Jim,
Just thought I would post about something which is happeneing when using MA3.

I use Ultramon to allow me to ahve more flexibility with my multimonitor setup. MA3 works fine in full screen accross both but when I press "F" and put MA3 into windowed mode then the right hand screen always gets a black background. I can still use that monitor as normal and the Ultramon Smart taskbar still appears and works perfectly but the background changes to black.

When I close MA3 down then the background image comes back just as it was.

Just giving this thread a bump as I don;t think Jim has seen it yet

What happens if you move the MA3 window or another window around on the black screen?

Thats fine, it just seems like I ahve set the desktop wallpaper on that screen to solid black but I havn't

The window doesn't "repaint" the desktop where it passes over?.

Nope

Great, more Vista64 problems.
