    Default Open File Window

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    For some reason I have not been able to open files normally in AutoCAD as of yesterday (when i was loading some lsp programs to clear out unnecessary layer filters which were bogging down my files).

    Normally, I go to "file" then "open" and a window pops up, letting me choose the file(s) I want to open. Now when I i chose, file->open, a message appears in my command line that says "Enter name of Drawings to open <last file name opened>:" and no window appears, so i have to type the filename of whatever I want.

    This is HUGELY annoying, how do i get the window back?
