Unrequested dialog box appears
Everything was working properly on my Win 7 machine until I installed the driver for an HL 2070 Brother laser printer. Then . . .
I ran FreeCell and a dialog box appeared over the game. I tried to snip it but as soon as I press the Snipping Tool icon the dialog box disappears. I also cannot capture it with Print Screen. It vanishes when I press Print Screen. The dialog box interferes with playing the game. The dialog box is game appropriate, is eight lines tall, and says New Game/Select Game/Undo/Hint/Options/Change card deck/change background/exit.
When I go to Spider Solitaire I also get a game appropriate dialog box, not wanted, not asked for.
I scanned the machine with Security Essentials which found no infection.
The speaker volume was too loud, so I clicked on the volume control. The control stays up about 1½ seconds, then vanishes.
MSWord functions normally.
Outlook, when clicking for creating a new message, brings down a dialog box, not the usual thing.
I find that if I press the Alt key the dialog box goes away.
I have uninstalled the Brother driver, shut down, and rebooted with the same actions continuing.
I’m puzzled. I have never seen this before. Any ideas?
