What can I do if a dialog box is hidden by its orriginal opening program (Microsoft Outlook)
I was trying to import old Outlook express emails into Microsoft Outlook but I cannot see what it is doing. It got through a large part of the process, but I dont think it is done yet. I am curious what I can do to move the main Outlook screen over to uncover the dialog box. It wont let me move or minimize or click on anything in the Main screen. Each time i click the main screen it gives me a ding.... error. when i try to start a new message by clicking on that option from the task bar it pops up with an error box saying "A dialog box is open. Close it and try again. But I cannot close it or even see it! I have already tried changing the screen resolution to move things around, but that doesnt change anything. thanks for any help you provide!

Hidden dialogs are a real problem. Try minimizing or moving Outlook and see if you can reveal it.

I already tried to say that it was not possible to move it or minimize it. Thanks for trying though. I ended up just force quitting it. and now trying to do the same thing again.
