VS 2008 cannot checkin file

I am getting this error when I am trying to checkin a file in VS 2008 "Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again." I don't see any modal window. I tried looking in the task manager and their is nothing.

Anybody has any idea?

Thanks Mithil

try alt-tab to cycle through the active applications. let go of the Alt key when you get to VS.

I tried that too. I can't see any modal window. It is as if it is invisible.

you might have to kill it with task manager

Done...the modal window does not show up on the screen nor the task manager. It is invisible. :(

doesn't visual studio show up in task manager? that's what I meant to kill, the whole thing and then open it up again and start over.

Yes, that is when the error message pops up if I try to kill it through task manager. Here is what happens. When i check in any file, VS hangs up.I can't click on any thing or do anything. But I can do other stuff out of VS. When I try to kill VS through task manager, that is when the pop up shows up saying I need to close the modal window.

shut the PC down? or turn it off? unplug it?

This is the weirdest thing to happen. I have to screens and I recently swapped my screens, making my primary my secondary and vice versa. Apparently when I tried to check in the pop up window ..pop'ed up on the other screen but never showed. I switched my screens back to the original configuration and then tries checking in the file and wahlaa...their it was the pop up showed up. Then i swapped my screen again to the way I wanted it and now the checkin is working fine.

One of those things...MS..:) Thanks Beth for your suggestion.
