Do you have a 2nd little SH3 pop-up dialog asking if you want to create capture sequence? or some-such similar to that. Try using the Windows key, and see if you don't have another SH3 dialog box in the TaskBar besides the regular SH3 window. If you don't have one of those, try the <Alt><Tab> combo. During Windows XP days, those pop-ups always came to the front because of the order of call. In 'modern' versions of Windows, it depends upon the mode of the pop-up, so they often fall in behind the active window instead.
