Frame generator - won' t close

I am using frame generator to make a frame.  I have inserted my frame members along the lines I drew on the part file, which I inserted into the assembly.  The frame parts show up in the preview just like I want them to, all green.  The window pops up "Create New Frame" with the default locations.  I click "OK" and and the window disappears and everything freezes.  If I hit my escape button, my frame disappears and Inventor unlocks, but I have no frame.  If I wait, I get a prompt "Select a line or draw a window" but I can't select anything.  

 

I've rebooted my computer, I made an ultrasimple drawing and frame, and I've used frame generator many times before in the past without this issue.   I appreciate any suggestions!

Are you working with multiple monitors? My assumption is that there is another dialog box that needs your input before continuing to close the frame generator window. Give this a shot when you get to that point again: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Dialog...

Its from a 3ds forum but it applies to inventor too.
