I fired up Revit Architecture 2011 this morning and I'm greeted by this new little guy!
It lingers there on screen until I actually click on it to close it. I'm thinking it is supposed to be hidden and related to getting authorization/licensing? Can't imagine what cool setting I've triggered to get it!
Anybody else seen this?? Say hello to my little friend?
[Added 5:40 PM - January 21, 2011] Thanks to Ryan Duell's specific comment about graphics card managers I remembered that I did play with settings in my nvidia Quadro FX1600m configuration using their nView Properties tool. Turns out that checking the option: Prevent windows from opening off-screen was the culprit. Disable that and no little friend, bye bye. Sorry, but I won't miss you.
Thanks Ryan!! and the other comments too!

I saw this the other day, but thought it might be from a bug from an extension I installed. It was the Roombook extension.
If you could expand the dialog, it would say "Don't click on this. And whatever you do, don't expand this dialog. Would you like to not continue?" with Abort Retry and Cancel buttons. ;-)
No extensions installed or 3rd party apps yet, pretty clean so far! Still have more to do to rebuild.
Uh, Danny how do you know this? Did you create it?? :)
I get this when I run ADesk Trial software....bet its just licensing running.
It's not April yet Steve.
This is weird. Suprised it doesn't say, "Hello World'.
In almost every case I have seen this, it is graphics card management software [tiny dialogs or dialogs with X]. Check out the thread \technical solution below:

I've seen this on a couple machines in my office. Didn't initially make the connection with windows 7, but now that I think of it, we had just installed windows 7 on those machines.
It either went away on it's own, or the users just quit complaining about it.
