Can't send new mail message in Outlook 2007 b/c a dialog box is already open

[Spin]

Gurus,

My Outlook 2007 had issue creating a "New" message complaining that a dialog
box was already "Open". Outlook needed to be closed and re-opened, and the
dialog box prompting for User Initials had to be acknowledged before the
other dialog boxes were answered or Outlook would continually complain that
a box was already "Open" when trying to send a new mail message. Anyone seen
this? So many dialog prompts seem to launch when a new user starts OL 2007
such as the prompt for newsfeeds, Instant Search and the dialog to enter in
user information that Outlook confuses itself I think.

Fixed in an Office update.
