Open and Save asks me to enter file name on cammand line

[Metric6]

I am using AutoCad 2005. It was working fine this morning. Then I imported an IGES file using the 'IGESIN' command. Shortly after, I experienced a problem. When I went to open a file no explorer window came up to search for the file. Instead it asked me to enter the file name on the command line. It does the same for saving a file as well. I have tried to reboot my computer and change my AUTOCAD profile, but neither worked. Does anyone have an idea of what the issue is? Any help would be gretaly appreciated.

OK...and that brings us to what, 180 times the answer to a question has been FILEDIA=1? The next person that asks gets a prize. What would you suggest?

A small person who goes round permanently colouring in their loose leaf folders...

I hope Metric6 hasn't been put off asking any more questions here!

That's the problem with both FILEDIA and PICKADD - what the heck are one suppose to search on??

 

I for one am glad that there's always questions around that I can answer of the top of my head- buffs my ego a bit
