cannot close smart control window on maestro

Perhaps I should re phrase that question. Just got a new Maestro for my 8400 and installed it according to the instructions, leaving the SDR off at the time. I do not intend to run this radio remotely from another location. All I want to do is be able to use both the SDR windows 11 controls via Mouse and the VFO's on the Maestro to control the radio. I have changed setting on both quite a few times and I can get them to run separately, where the Maestro has no control on the SDR. But when I get them to work together, I am getting this screen on the Maestro…..SMARTCONTROL MODE. I remains blocking most of the screen and yet I can control the SDR with the Maestro VFO and vis versa. I cannot close this window. If I hit the exit at bottom left it just puts me in a loop that eventually brings me back to this same screen. What am I doing wrong here and how do I close this window? When I googled the question it came up with an exact duplicate problem that some people were having with an earlier version of the software and the fix was to go back to an earlier version. That was many versions and years ago on a 6400 and not today on an 8400, but the problem and photo was identical. Perhaps I should add that My computer, the 8400 radio and the Maestro are all hard wired in my network. I realize that there is something that does not jive between the Maestro and the radio, but I cannot find it. Does Multiflex have top be enabled to do this? Does FlexControl need to be on or off to do this?

Thanks AGAIN Guys
