I wonder if the sudden appearance of an independant floating 'Family' dialog box is related to my having upgraded the operating system to Windows 8? I have never seen this before and wonder why it needs to be present and how to get rid of it? All it does is repeat the heading of the 'Properties' panel. Also it has no controls but a close button and a right click menu of 'Move' and 'Hide' but using the close or hide options only removes it from the screen temporarily.

When opening Revit 2014 I had the same problem with a very small dialog box which contained only the options to 'Hide" or 'Move' and appeared above everything else on the Revit opening screen. Not big deal, just a PITA every time I opened Revit. After reading the previous posts, I turned off the Hydravision on the AMI graphics card in my Dell M6800 and the errant dialog box has not reappeared.
What good is having a box that's 'CSV' certified when little glitches like this continue to happen?

This is working!! Thanks soo much! This is very valuable information in our office! We all appreciate it.
We uninstalled Hydravision by going to contol panel, programs and features and running the AMD Catalyst Install Manager. Choose custom and check Hydravision, uninstall.
all you have to do:
1. open catalyst control center
2.click on AMD firepro
3. click on Hydravision Desktop manager
4. uncheck "enable dialog repositioning" under Dialog control.
5. apply
6. enjoy revit again
