*ALERT POP-UP DIALOG*

Herbig-Haro

Backup Exec 11d used to give me pop-up alert dialogs to remove and insert backupcartridges. This was very handy when a non-tech had to handle the backup chores. But since I edited the backup job to change the start time window the alerts no longer pop up. Yes, they appear on the alert pane -- but a pop-up dialog at the top of the z-order is harder for a non-tech to ignore. Truth is, I didn't orginally setup the backup and am not expert on this product.

How do I make alerts pop-up in a dialog box?

Go in to Tools, Options, Preferences, and make sure that Automatically display new alerts is ticked.

It shows checked, but this morning's alerts were on the alert pane and not on a pop-up dialog.
I also made sure the dialogs were not doing a "pop-under".

I wonder if the OS on the server is blocking pop-ups from apps?
