Greetings --

No way to know, based upon the vague description you've provided.
Exactly _when_ does the box appear? What action immediately proceeds
its appearance? Have to looked in the Task Manager to see what
application or process is active when, and only when, the box is
present? Do your Event Logs contain any pertinent entries?
