System Variable Monitor not opening

[Anonymous]

Whenever I try to open the System Variable Monitor, or run the SYSVARMONITOR command, nothing opens up.  Instead, AutoCAD freezes until I press Escape.

It's not behind any windows or on my other screen; It doesn't appear to open at all.

I've had it working before as I use it all the time.  Does anyone know how to get it back?

-It's not behind any windows

ok

-or on my other screen

 ok

; It doesn't appear to open at all.

 ok

then the dialog is outside your visible screen(s) 😉

[ESC]

[ESC]

[ESC]

Command: SYSVARMONITOR

[ALT]+[SPACE]

[M]

[Arrow Key] <- one of the REAL Arrow Keys, not one from the num pad.

NOW you can move your mouse/cursor around and you will see the dialog.

If it not works by the first time, try it with a visible non-fillscreen window.

The windows calculator for example, or the AutoCAD RENAME dialog..

That did it! It was waaaay off the screen to the right.

Thank you!
