    Exclamation "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.
