Subject: RunDialog for Vision Guide hangs or dialog title bars flash

Symptoms
When RunDialog is executed to display the Vision Guide dialog, the dialog is not completely initialized and your application hangs.  Or when displaying other dialogs, the title bar flashes.

Causes
This is due to a setting in Windows XP that by default prevents background applications from taking focus.

To fix the problem, set the value for the following registry setting to 0: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout
Then, reboot Windows.
