Can you be more specific about what is not working?
Can you see the ribbon, but none of the tools work, and you are not able to switch ribbon tabs?
Is the entire program frozen, or can you use Tool palette tools or type commands at the Command prompt? (If the latter is missing, CTRL+9 should bring it back.)
Is the ribbon area blank? (Try typing the RIBBON command and pressing <ENTER> at the Command: prompt. Does that bring the Ribbon back?)
The ribbon and icons are there - it's just greyed out and I'm not able to pick on them. I can type in commands and they work fine. This only happens when I use the Mtext edit command.
