QuestionOutlook 2010 grabs focus from other windows

    I'm running Outlook 2010 v14.0.4514.1007 (32 bit) on a Windows 7 RTM Dell E4300.

    When Outlook runs, most Outlook-related dialog boxes lose focus, as if the main application is grabbing focus back.  For example, if I double-click on someone's name from a message, their contact card comes up quickly but immediately disappears behind the main Outlook window.  I can minimize Outlook itself and the contact card is there - but it never retains focus, so interacting with it is frustrating and can't be done via the keyboard.

    Outlook is the only application that does this and it's quite reproducable day after day!  Any suggestions?
