Conflict with a popup window causes this error and may be a corruption with the saved settings in the application data directory. This may be caused by, but not limited to, the migration of settings from one install to another.
RESOLUTION:
Exit Toad, go to the application data directory and rename the Toad for SQL Server <version> directory. Restart Toad and test the issue.
The default app data directory is
- C:\Documents and Settings\<personal folder>\Application Data\Quest Software
or
- C:\Users\<personal folder>\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\
