Not with the repair, although it is not a bad idea to copy them somewhere safe just in case.  The only thing you should have to do is any add any service pack that had been applied.

m-dub yeah dude, pfaffed around with changing a few of the sysvars and changing them back....it still looks like the dia is appearing 'somewhere' just not on the screen area.

Ive also tried changing the size down to 640 and seeing what happens but its still not there?

Ill try a repair on it......first thing monday haha!!

Ill post up the results of it.

Ta again folks....Though if anyone has any further ideas please keep em coming!! curious to know if theres a way to "reset" the dia's

Did you try setting the display so autocad was NOT maximized?  If not try doing so and then minimize the autocad window or move it around.  At times, this will expose renegade boxes or even the command line when it gets lost.

A free hint - if you only have one monitor run autocad this way and narrow up the screen a few pixels.  You can then have large dialog boxes like "properties" in the strips always available as a flyout without worrying about them docking or covering your working area.

Big G,

I had this same problem on one of the CAD stations here. The problem showed up on Vanilla Acad after installing LDD 2005 w/ Civil Design. A  complete uninstall\reinstall was the only thing that fixed the problem here as well.

[guess]It has been moved off screen[/guess]

Try increasing your monitor resolution as high as it will go (hopefully it's not already there) and you might find it.

The dialog box location appears to be stored in the profile.  Try changing profiles and see if it reappears.

Bob...i tried changing the res of the screens, but the dia didnt appear on the screen.
