This is only a minor annoyance, but... Every time I run an E-Prime program under Vista, all my windows get resized. Not so much a problem on a subject-running machine, but a bigger annoyance on a development platform that is simultaneously used for e-mail, web browsing, text editing, etc.

So is this just me, or do others have this problem? And is this just a Vista problem that is outside the control of PST, or can PST eventually come up with a fix or workaround?

(In fact this is not just a 2.0 problem, since the same thing happens when I run 1.2 under Vista, but since 1.2 is not meant for Vista I thought the topic belonged here.)

As I said, this seems to be a Vista problem since it also happens with EP 1.2. Gary Schrock at Michigan State University suggested that Vista may not be happy with the transition to video resolutions below 800x600, and EP by default switches down to 640x480. Indeed, when I increased the video resolution of my EP experiment, the problem almost went away, then only the E-Studio window itself got resized. Finally, I set "Match desktop resolution at runtime" of the DisplayDevice to Yes, and that fixed everything. That is a new feature with version 2.0, and is a real improvement over 1.x, thanks.

Hmm, it appears that the SoundDevice object still requires users to specify the format parameters of their sound files instead of having E-Prime adapt to sound files as it encounters them. But that is a separate topic...

Thanks for the info.  This has been entered into the tracking system for further review and replication.
