Dialogs for Open/Save/New are Gone

Dialogs for Open/Save/New are Gone

(OP)
I am running ACAD 2002 on WinXP and have been for a few years and something weird has just started happening.

When I use the menu or icons to Open/Save/New, the dialogs don't display. Instead, the command line prompts for the proper action.

Anybody know what's up with that?

RE: Dialogs for Open/Save/New are Gone

(OP)
Well, I found my own answer...

The FILEDIA system variable somehow became set to 0. Setting it to 1 restores the dialogs.
