When I open layer manager, it doesnt show my layers, it is just all blank, not even a "0" layer. I can click in the area and it shows the layer but that is it. I searched for a fix but was unable to find a fix. I have updated my graphics card driver but that didnt fix it. I have attached a screen shot to show what it looks like. I am running C3D 2009. Thanks for any help.
I saw something similar to this with a co-worker's system back in AutoCAD 2009. Try playing with your display settings. Also, does anything appear when you type in CLASSICLAYER at the command line?
First check if you have checked the "invert Layer Filter".
And a special question: do you use an Intel graphic card?

I typed CLASSICLAYER and it opened an a layer manager that was good....Thanks. I looked in my docked layer manager and it wasnt fixed there but I can type the command to get it so I can edit layers. Thanks Jason.
Glad that helped out, but it's just a band-aid. It doesn't resolve the new layer dialog box issue. I suggest tweaking your display settings or exploring your graphic card as Alfred suggested.
Have you checked for the last ServicePacks for Civil3D? (>>>look here<<<)
Do you have your layer-manager opened on the first or on the secondary monitor?
And what operating system do you have?

I have seen this happen with a corrupted desktop shortcut. Try starting Civil 3d from All Programs ->Autodesj->Civil 3D. If your layers look fine with this method, you just need to recreate the desktop shortcut.
Not sure if this helps the troubleshooting process but I'm seeing the same thing in Autocad Electrical 2010. It only happens from time to time and restarting autocad fixes it while opening and closing the layer manager doesn't. Would this rule out graphics card issues?
