I noticed the same thing with AutoIt, a windows scripting language.
There are times when a dialog box is supposed to take focus but it
doesn't. This was not a problem in XP.<br>
<br>
I have a Windows 7, 64-bit machine and I also noticed that it takes
a while for 2xExplorer, a 32-bit program, to access a network drive.

Since being forced to move to Win 7, I've seen this problem with a number of programs (including Acrobat 9, which is what I'm using).
When a program displays a modal dialog box requiring input from the user (such as a File Save or Print dialog, or message that must be acknowledged), that dialog box should take focus -- that is, appear on top of all other open windows and be selected. In Win 7, this often doesn't happen. I can't tell you how many times I've thought that an application wasn't responding to my input only to realize that there was a dialog hidden somewhere, waiting patiently for input from me. Aargh!
I assumed that Win 7 introduced some changes in app-to-OS communications that pre-Win 7 apps don't properly handle. But Acrobat X was released _after_ Win 7, right? Could it be that the problem is with Win 7 itself?
