David, the disappearance of the parameter description dialog window is
common to all configurations as far as I can see, and it is extremely
annoying (especillay when are users are convinced that all is lost!). The
window doesnt actually disappear but goes to the background. Changing the
monitor to 832x624, if you can, will help as the acq window and parameter
description window can be kept separate.
We did have some problems with a v 1.0 version of CellQuest that wouldnt
allow us to choose a folder other than the default and would not allow
ANY change of filename (I know that file shraing can affect this, but it
was turned off). This disappeared when we upgraded to v1.1.1.
Hope taht this is of some help.
