Emergency - (sort of) "a stack name with the same name..."

[Bridger Maxwell]

Hey,
  I have had a few experiences with an answer box popping up, but then
making itself inaccessible, either by hiding itself or by simply lacking an
"OK" button.  Revolution will not let you do anything until you have
responded, and you are unable to respond.  I have been able to fix this by
opening another stack with networking enabled (I found I am still able to
open stacks, even with Rev stuck) and then remote-administering from a
different computer.  This usually includes:
close stack "Answer dialog"
and:
lock messages; wait 5 seconds with messages
I don't know if you happen to have two computers and a good networking stack
lying around, but it is one possibility.  Sorry if this wasn't much help, I
was just sharing how I usually get myself out of that situation.  Best of
luck!

   TTFN
