| Windows 7 64-bit 36 posts Longview, TX | Dialog Boxes Focusing Behind All Since Windows 7, I've noticed that all of my timed system events configured to pop up reminders or Microsoft Office Calendar events always pop up in the background. Usually, I have sound on, so I can here the Windows notice, but not always. Also, I have dual screens that I keep pretty busy! Is there a way I can tell Windows 7 that I want these dialog boxes to pop up in the front like they did way back in the WinXP day? |

By doing so the Reminder gets embedded into the "grouping" behind the Outlook icon. This makes the reminder difficult to notice. If you change the "Taskbar buttons" setting under the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" to "Never combine," then the grouping separates and the reminder pops-up in front of whatever else you have open. However, one of the great new features of Windows 7 is this nice, clean taskbar grouping. So it becomes a matter of sacrifice in order to get this to work correctly. |

| Windows 7 Professional x64 1 posts | Dialog Boxes hiding after opened While I have read several posts regarding this subject and have tried the solutions I came across, I am still having the same issue. It is especially a problem when working within our SAGE MAS 200 ERP software. I was hoping that someone would have a different fix that might work. I have tried unlocking the task bar, changed my Foreground flash count and foreground lock timeout, have tried uninstalling other programs such as Google Chrome, Cisco Web programs etc. Also tried the clean boot and still find my open dialog boxes disappear to the background of any open programs. I am hoping someone has the answer. Thank you! |
