Imagine it this way if you will. You have a while loop running away with an indicator on the count variable. Some tripper causes the alert box to pop-up. Everything I have tried causes the count indicator to stop until the pop-up is acknowledged. What I what is for the counting to continue in the background while the pop-up awaits operator input.
Can't you call the pop-up VI dynamically? Use the Run VI method. This should solve your problem. Check this image:

If you need to pass data to the pop-up then you can use various methods like globals however check this link for a way to pass data directly to the pop-up. You can also make the pop-up's re-entrant that way you only need to program one VI to handle it all. Check this link for a discussion on how to do this:
