POWERSDR Stops when opening another program

Hello,
I was running ver 127 and had no issues, when I upgraded to ver 129, when I would open my ARMY MARS M110A modem program, Powersdr would go from running properly to like I had hit the "stop" button. I am running Win 10 64bit, 1809.
Anyone that might have an idea of what is causing this issue?
Like I said running ver 127 I had no issues with my ARMY MARS M110A software.

Are you saying the Panadapter/waterfall freezes, and Clicking the STOP/START button clears it up?

Darrin,
No, when I open up the ARMY MARS M110A modem program, Power SDR , the start/stop button goes from start to stop. I didn't have this issue with PowerSDR ver 127.

Assuming your M110A is using CAT commands via a Virtual serial port?
Disable the serial port from either side (i.e. PowerSDR or the M110A) and then launch M110a and see if the same thing happens?
(I am assuming your M110a modem will give you an fault message telling you It connect communicate with the radio).
But I want to know if the CAT is causing the issue?
Sounds like something in the PowerSDR database has become corrupted and some CAT command is now causing PowerSDR to STOP?

I fixed the issue in .131
It has to do with any PC program that requires a User authorization (where the screen blanks out and waits for you to click OK to launch your program).
It was causing PowerSDR to power down. Its fixed.

Hi Darrin,
I apologize for not responding sooner, as I was in the hospital for quite awhile.
I see that you say .131 fixed this issue. But I see .131 is available for the brown Full install, and I see .130 for the Incremental Installer for PowerSDR ke9ns v2.8.0.130 for the green install. Is .131 available for the green download?

The Green Incremental has been updated. I just missed updating the webpage.

Hi Darrin,
.132 worked wonderfully!
Thank you again for your great software and your support of your software.

Darrin,
I am having an issue when opening a program with administrator, when I click on a program that has administrator startup, PowerSdr disappears off screen, but comes back on once the program (ARMY MARS 110A) opens.
You fixed this problem once before for me with .132
I am running .137 now

Not sure I understand what your stating?
Make sure Setup->General->Hardware Config->Allow Windows Shutdown is UNCHECKED.
Make sure Setup->General->hardware config->Auto Focus PowerSDR is UNCHECKED.
and be careful if you have Setup->General->Options->Always on Top Checked.

Darrin,
All three of those items are unchecked.
What's happening is when I start up PowerSdr, and click "Start" in Power SDR, all is fine-until I start up two programs for my Army MARS software.As I click to start each program-PowerSdr disappears for a few seconds and then comes back on. Both of my Army MARS program start in the "Administrator mode".
I had this issue once before with a previous version of PowerSdr (I think it was ver .127), now with ver .137 the issue is back.
I don't remember what you did to fix it, but you told me to download the next ver .128 and that fixed it.

Tom,
PowerSDR console be minimized to the Windows tray, or PowerSDR console can be hidden behind another application, but thats it.
Maybe there there is some CAT command that the Army Mars program is issuing?
I dont know all the possible CAT commands. PowerSDR has a huge PDF of all of them.
Do you have 2 monitors or 1?
Maybe take a short video of it? I really would like to see this.

Darrin-yes I do have two monitors-and I was actually going to add a third monitor.
Give me a day or two and I will make a video of whats happening.
I do appreciate your assistance on this issue!

Darrin- I spent some time playing with my system and came to the conclusion that PowerSdr has nothing to do with my issue.
My problem is caused by any program that I run in the "Administrator mode"
If I run my ARMY MARS or any other programs NOT in the "Administrator mode" I have no issues-so I have no idea of how to correct my issues.
I apologize using up the bandwidth and more importantly-you time with my issue!
