I have a AutoCad 2010 user who has had not problems until this past Tuesday, at which time all dialog box usage started causing thier program to freeze up. If I change filedia to 0, they can use the command prompt to saveas and open files, but obviously this is not ideal. Additionally, if I type in a ~ when trying to saveas, it causes the program to freeze.
I have gone through the file options to make sure that no false paths are listed, I have also tried both a repair install and a complete uninstall-reinstall of the software, and although this seems to work, within 10 minutes the problems back again.
The user is running Windows 7 professional, with an i7 processor, and i have made sure that I have all the updates for their machine.
I have searched through multiple forums online and found that this is a common problem although I haven't found a solution that works for us. There was one forum that mentioned editing a dialogboxes registry value, which doesn't even appear in this users registry, although that was for a different version of ACAD.
I'm not an ACAD user myself and am not familiar at all with the software or what it does or how it works, so when providing solutions please provide as much detail as possible.
