Known problem. Taskbar must be top or bottom not left or
right. But it is still a beta.
 
It will be resolved in beta 2, in the mean time, just put the taskbar back
at the bottom and accept the notifications.
 
Here is a Way to Respond to the Off screen Pop-up alerts

WXP/EN-US/TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe

Install it.

Hold down ALT-TAB to open it up. and Keep ALT pressed.

With the New Task Switcher, you will now not only see a
List of Application Icons, but you will have a Sample
View of the Application Screen.

While Still Holding ALT down. Press TAB to cycle through
the List. You Will be able to Read the POP-up Message.

When you Let go of Alt-Tab, your Focus will be in that
Pop-up Screen, but you can't see it...

Now you can Press TAB to Cycle through the Options in the
POP-up Alert.

TAB Once - Cycles to the Remember this Check box - Press
Space bar to change it.
TAB Twice - Cycles to BLOCK - Press Enter to Select it.
TAB Three - Cycles to ALLOW - Press Enter to Select it.
TAB Four - Cycles to the Discription Tex - Use down arow

New Text Position. When you let go, you will still be in
the Description text or TAB press Four.)
TAB Five - ??? Nothing
TAB Six - ??? Nothing
TAB Seven - Back at TAB One the Remember this Check Box.


Even though you can't See what you are doing. Your Focus
is placed inside the pop-up message off screen. Each TAB
press cycles through the all of the Options Buttons, and
pressing Enter Selects the Current Button option.


By Using the ALT-TAB power Toy, you can at least Read
what the Message is, and see your Options. Then it is
Just a Matter of Releasing ALT-TAB, and Pressing TAB to

Manager.

Under the Process tab you will see the list of all open
process.
