"find" & "replace" functions no longer working in FP2002??

This is a very odd problem that i have begun encountering only since
last night. I maintain and create several sites within FP2002 and have
done so successfully for the past 2 years. Last evening, I was
performing some *find* and *replace* functions and much to my chagrin,
the dialogue box simply stopped appearing :S The only thing different
on my machine is that i performed a windows update and symantec live
update shortly before this problem began occurring. I have since
rebooted several times, removed the changes (that i could find) that
both symantec and microsoft made yesterday and to be honest, i'm out of
ideas. Could this be a change that occurred in the Registry or VB that
might have disabled the *find*/*replace* functions? Is there anyone
else experiencing this problem? I was using this function very often up
until its disappearance yesterday evening.

Info about my problem and my attempts at troubleshooting:

1. I have rebooted several times.
2. I run Symantec Personal Firewall and Antivirus programs
3. LiveUpdate automatically ran last evening and dl several patches.
4. Windows ran their update last evening as well and dl and installed
10 patches.
5. I never have had this particular problem before.
6. Usually, i perform maintenance and updates to my webpages *live*
(work on them on the server side)
7. I even tried to work on some .html files locally to no avail.
8. Please help

Try a Detect and Repair of your FrontPage installation - you can find it in
the FrontPage Help Menu. You will need your FrontPage CD to do this.

Could it be appearing off screen?
- from dragging it too far
Try resetting your screen to a higher resolution to look for it
