"Open" Dialog Box missing "Places"

Upon the reinstall (after HD crash) of ADT 2006, I have encountered a problem with the "Open" dialog box titled "Select File".

The box appears after ctrl-O, as it should. The appearance of everything seems normal - "Preview" pane, tool bar with folders and Views, etc., and "File name:" and "Files type:"

The area with the trouble is "Places" - no icons, not even a graphic detent outlining the area for "Places". Right-clicking in this area brings up the properties box as it should but nothing happens when selecting "Add..." or "Add Current Folder".

Any ideas on what the trouble might be?

I don't know if this is the proper Forum for this question but one must start somewhere mustn't one.

While I am here, AutoCad is fun but maneuvering the Forum site is beyond my comprehension. How do I Subscribe to this - or any other - Forum?

Thanks, All.

Welcome Jerry

Is it just the open dialog, or others, e.g. browsing during the INSERT command or the SAVE command? I would try doing a repair first. Make sure you have admin rights to the pc.

As far as the forums go, if you are only interested in a few forums, save shortcuts in your browser favorites. You can subscribe to a forum from the forums's home page using Forum Tools>Subscribe to this forum. You can also set your preferences in you control panel to subscribe to threads that you post to.

Thanks, Ed...........I just found it again, ugh, the Forum where I placed my question.

Okay on your response. .......will try it and get back to you if I cand find my post again....I'll bookmark it this time.

Only a two-man office so the inquiry is for the boss......he makes the adjustments, I do the goffer work.
