Did you try shutting down then restarting AutoCAD?

Are any other dialog boxes not showing up as well?

so far no.
I know there is a command that allows you to hide thing behind the drawing screen but cant remember exactly what.
 
ctrl+alt+?????? click drag screen to show whats behind

I'm not familiar with that command.  If I thought I had something hidden behind my screen I'd minimize it and take a look.

Hi,
Perhaps try opening the CUI editor, then with your current workspace selected in the left pane, click on the + next to Palettes in the right pane. Then select the External References palette, and make sure it is set to show, also set any other properties that are relevant. Perhaps that will allow it to appear.
Hope this helps.
