Trouble displaying Windows Explorer file select dialog in RH8

This problem is occurring across RH8: when I select Import Word doc at startup; when I select Baggage File -> New; when I select Insert Image-> Browse . RoboHelp locks up and when I select to End Task in the Windows Task Manager I get a message saying "the system can not end this program because it is waiting for a response from you". I've tried cascading windows to see if the dialog box is hidden but it's just not there.

Could the dialog box have fallen off the screen somehow? e.g. dual screen setup.

If it has, the following should help you grab it:

Press Alt, Space, M.

Press any arrow key.

Waggle the mouse madly until the dialog box appears.

Click to drop it where you want.

No, I've tried turning off dual screen mode

Is your RH project located on a network drive (very bad) or a local drive (good). Also is this just on one project? What happens when you try to do the same on one of the supplied demo projects?

Read the RoboColum(n).

It's on a local drive

I get the same behavior regardless of project - just tried a demo project, same thing. Even if I have not opened a project: I start RH8 up, select "Import Word Document" - it locks up like it is waiting for me to select a file, but does not display the file browser
