Hi Vicky & Kathy, This is where I was a bit confused myself but, what you do is when you hear whatever sound you have assigned for System Notification, indicating the Balloon message, you left mouse click right there! When this balloon message pops up, this balloon message has the focus of the screen. So, you don't have to, Alt + Tab, to find it, it's right there, just press the left mouse click button! Or, from what I understand anyways, you can sometimes go to the system tray & find it, like Windows Updates, for example. Hope this helps you as much as it did me! LOL
Take care.
