SYMPTOMS

When you use a phone dialer in Windows 98, the Call Status dialog box that displays the Lift handset to talk and hang-up options is not viewable.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Call Status dialog box is minimized on the taskbar.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, click the flashing section of the taskbar to maximize the Call Status dialog box, and then click Lift handset to talk or hang-up.

MORE INFORMATION

After you maximize the Call Status dialog box, it is displayed automatically during that phone dialer session the next time you initiate a call. If you quit phone dialer, the behavior reoccurs.
