opening from command line

[larosa89]

for some reason autocad is forcing me to open a drawing from the command line when i go to click on the open icon. and everything seems to lock up. there must be a simple solution to this. perhaps somewhere in options? any help greatly appreciated. im using 2002

type a tilde (~) at the prompt to get the usual box.
Then set FILEDIA to 1

From Help:

Type:IntegerSaved in:RegistryInitial value:1
Suppresses display of file navigation dialog boxes.
0
Does not display dialog boxes. You can still request a file dialog box to appear by entering a tilde (~) in response to the command's prompt. The same is true for AutoLISP and ADS functions.
1
Displays dialog boxes. However, if a script or AutoLISP/ObjectARX™ program is active, an ordinary prompt is displayed.
