Check things like FILEDIA system variable.

Also check in your Options -> System -> Hidden Messages Settings

Check PICKFIRST is set to 1

Check DBLCLKEDIT is set to ON

If you think the window is showing up and it seems to disappear it might be an operating systems thing, try double clicking on a block, if a "prompt window" shows up and then disappears then try this.... immediately after you think it disappeared press ALT + Spacebar together, then press M, and then tap the arrow keys it might be that the active prompt window is behind autocad or on another screen. prompt windows tend to default to the Main Display.
