Hi,
What a crazy idea (no matter in which version) to want to turn off the only really meaningful communication source in the block field with the program.
>"How to turn on and off command line for version 2004"
Hard to remember but i though you can't. Commands COMMANDLINE/COMMANDLINECLOSE started a bit later with v2006.
The only thing is to use a tool that moves the commandline(CMDL) to outside of the visible screen
and back to the the visible screen area. [I doesn't support to turn the CMDL off, therefore you have to look for a tool yourself if you want to]
Keep CMFL always on with 4 lines visible to see all feedback from AutoCAD commands.

For a start try key combination <CTRL> + <9>

No, it is
1. outside your visible screen
OR
2. tiny/hidden
Often it is hidden under the Taskbar! (turn Taskbar to autohide to see what is behind)
or
3. You already tried this
Change the resolution
4 - Best way - we waiting for some one who has also ACAD pre2006 version or just one who can remember well how it was in this version.
If the position was part of the Profil: Go to OPTIONS Profile, Export the current Profile
and share the *.ARG file (as ZIP) - we can reset the position there IF the information is stored there.
At last: Change your Profile OPTIONS PROFILE
or start with a new one: Start parameter /p "NewProfile"

I agree that the command line is off the screen, not lost.
Options and reset it in the profile (the 1st thing to try.)
@Anonymous
IF the position is saved in Profile, use InList first, then Profile [Reset]
Or EXPORT first,
if RESET works, we can edit your *.arg Profile - then you have your profile like before, just with the CMDL visible

The same.Both commands not available in 2004 and also the CUI command, all three started in 2006.
@john.uhden sorry for belling - Where is the (floating) commandline position stored in 200-2005 ?

Hi @Anonymous
It pulled out my lost laptop,
installed a 2005 version
and now i can help you:
press [ESC]
type in:
_line<enter hit>
follow the key combinations
[ALT]+[SPACE]
[M]
In this second your cursor disappear, right?
and no dialog/menu appears?
Then:
<Now, hit one arrow Key, for example arrow-LEFT>
Now you can move the mouse (without to press a button),
move around until you see the commandline & your cursor.
Sebastian
On a side note, there was some talk a few years ago about getting rid of the command line.

Thank you John, it's solved.
After running cross each room, each corner, i found an old Laptop.
I run further to find a power adapter, done.
Remember the admin password,
insert 2005 CD,
Install, waaaaaaaaaaiiiiting for a long time
Program start, undock the CMDL and
1. make sure it is really not stored in the profile (right)
2. Test [ALT]+[SPACE] Menu... Jackpot. Floated CMDL acts like other Dialogs in these old versions
(2004 or 2002 is the same for this question, i think the CMD was up to 2005 the same, or up to 2008?)
