I have similar problems with Windows 7 Pro: - sometimes, when trying to print a web page (IE 9.0.1), a print dialog box will be created but I will not see it, and IE appears to be frozen. The box was hidden behind the active IE window. - frequently, when trying to save a printable page using Adobe 9, the Save dialog box will be hidden behind the active Adobe or IE window. I sometimes discover the hidden box by chance ... And sometimes when I try to shut down IE, and it says it is waiting for a response. How can I force pop up dialog boxes to pop up ON TOP of the formerly active window???JimC

Have you run all Windows Updates and Adobe Software updates for each Adobe product? If not, try this and see if this makes a difference.

After having stuck with XP Pro long enough, I'm gradually buying and provisioning Windows 7-based machines, and I have seen this undesirable "hidden pop-under dialog box" issue on every Win7 box I've worked with, and it's not at all dependent on what software is in use (Adobe, MS Office, etc.)--it's in the OS. It is NOT the way Windows XP (or 2000, ME, 98, 95, 3.1, etc.) behaved, as I've seen some people claim. There are other threads dating back about TWO YEARS about this bug and yet, why no fix???? Here's one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/7f4543cf-874d-4a39-bea5-34a824e4c0ce/ While an advanced user can eventually figure out that there's a hidden window somewhere, awaiting input, it's confusing to normal users, and actually quite annoying even to the advanced user. Is this truly a "bug by design," Microsoft?
