If the sigs got better with the window minimized it's hinting the computer can't keep up with updating the spectrum display. You can try turning it off,. or turning down the refresh rate -- there's a setting somewhere in the setup pages that lets you set the refresh rate for the display.
BTW - the cpu intensiveness of the spectrum update is a known issue. There's potential for making it much less CPU intensive by using DirectX video interfaces. Now we just need to find someone skilled in such things to write the code.

SR-40ers,
PA contest this morning provided lots of signals to check out. Also a RTTY
thing early this morning.
Had several things running like email and such and some strong signals
sounded rather choppy. I minimized the PowerSDR window to do something in
email and the signal cleared up -- no longer choppy.
OK if you just wanted to listen to the one signal but not too useful for
tuning around...[g]
Better to close all the other applications and open windows of course but
interesting anyway -- maybe.
