When I select the Open dialogue box three buttons are greyed out..."Create New Folder", List, Details.
I have Win982ME, AutoPatcher98, RP7.
When the Open box displayed no folders or files are listed, but if I right click in the main windows and change the View everything shows up, then I change it to my usual view "List". If I click on the "Up one level" button the window is blank again and I have to change the "View" again.
I have other symptoms that are tied together. When in my browser and click on "File", "Save as" I get an error box stating..."This web page could not be saved.". When I try to right click on a file URL to save the file...the box that retreaved the name shows for 1-3 seconds, when the name is retreaved the box diapeares not saving the file. But it does allow me to use Flashget to download the file.
The Open box is also not the Win98 default size, it is much taller.
I tried different versions of comdlg32.dll and comctrl32.dll and there was no change.
I have Google'd and Yahoo'd and searched news groups for the past 3 days and hunted though the registry to find a command that would do this and have found nothing to eleviate this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

FYI:

98SE2ME does not change the File/Folder Open box nor its size/shape in any way that I'm aware of.

HTH [Hope This Helps]

I found the fix, or maybe it fixed it's self.
For other reasons I changed my security setting to low and all was good again, I changed back to medium and it was still good.
I was using medium customized before.
If I ever find which command caused the problem I will note it here.
