I cannot get my hatch and gradient dialog box to appear.  I have to do everything thru the command line and then edit properties.  Can anyone give me some idea as to what I may have done to cause this problem?  I am running AutoCAD 2010 and the box worked when we first downloaded AutoCAD.

If you have the ribbon enabled, you will not get a hatch dialog because everything goes through the ribbon. Close the ribbon or set the HPDLGMODE variable to 1.
