If I have my taskbar on the side (left) the way i like
it... i find the alerts just scroll up the screen on the
right not allowing me to allow or block. I hope this is
fixed on the next release....or is there a fix for this? I
couldnt find anything.

Yes, it is - place taskbar horizontally.. ;-) No other way until Beta 2
release, which hopefully will have it fixed.

Yep, known issue, just put the taskbar back at the bottom and accept the
notifications.

Here is a Way to Respond to the Off screen Pop-up alerts
First Download the Win XP Power Toy Task Switcher

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ler/Install/2/
WXP/EN-US/TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe

Install it.

Hold down ALT-TAB to open it up. and Keep ALT pressed.

With the New Task Switcher, you will now not only see a
List of Application Icons, but you will have a Sample
View of the Application Screen.

While Still Holding ALT down. Press TAB to cycle through
the List. You Will be able to Read the POP-up Message.

When you Let go of Alt-Tab, your Focus will be in that
Pop-up Screen, but you can't see it...

Now you can Press TAB to Cycle through the Options in the
POP-up Alert.

TAB Once - Cycles to the Remember this Check box - Press
Space bar to change it.
TAB Twice - Cycles to BLOCK - Press Enter to Select it.
TAB Three - Cycles to ALLOW - Press Enter to Select it.
TAB Four - Cycles to the Discription Tex - Use down arow
to move down. (Hitting ALT-TAB will allow you to Read the
New Text Position. When you let go, you will still be in
the Description text or TAB press Four.)
TAB Five - ??? Nothing
TAB Six - ??? Nothing
TAB Seven - Back at TAB One the Remember this Check Box.


Even though you can't See what you are doing. Your Focus
is placed inside the pop-up message off screen. Each TAB
press cycles through the all of the Options Buttons, and
pressing Enter Selects the Current Button option.


By Using the ALT-TAB power Toy, you can at least Read
what the Message is, and see your Options. Then it is
Just a Matter of Releasing ALT-TAB, and Pressing TAB to
cycle to the right Option button, and Press Enter to
Select it.

Hope That Explained it well enough, but once you have the
Toy loaded, and you get to try it... You'll see want I
mean..

Wow, I had 13 hidden pop-up that I had to respond to...

Also, If you Just want to close all the open POP-ups and
start from scratch.

You can do a CTRL-ALT-DELETE and bring up the TASK
Manager.

Under the Process tab you will see the list of all open
process.

Locate the ones named
gcsaServAlert.exe
Click on them and then Click on End Process.
This will close one of the Popup Alerts.
If you Have more than one open. You can look through the
list and close them all.
Make sure you only find the ones named
gcsaServAlert.exe

It works for me.
How do you think I got the detailed info on how many time
to press the tab key?
If you follow the instructions in my post, it works every
time.

I've been using it flawlessly.

so IT DOES WORK...

Maybe everyone mis-understands and thinks that you can
click on the Image you see in the popup task manager.
You don't Click on the Little Image.
It Works after you let go of the ALT key, by pressing TAB
the right number of times just as I described.
