OK I got it working , I kinda suspected it was a windows issue and when I noticed several other programs having the same issue that confirmed it... Quicktime and several other programs had no file open/save dialog. I am not sure what fixed it as I tried several things before testing but it was one of the following. I ran SFC /scannow which said there were some corrupt files and not all could be repaired, I also went to DEFAULT PROGRAMS in the control panel and reset file associations. It may have been setting windows search explorer to all by doing the following.

start/default programs/set your default programs/scroll down to Windows Search Explorer and select it/then select Choose defaults for this program/click the ALL checkbox and SAVE.

Not sure which of those did the trick but after searching allot I saw that other people had the same problem but not much luck in finding out why so hopefully that will help someone in the future. Although I wish I hadnt broken my rule about trying one fix at a time so that I could be sure of which one got it working.

I recently had to format my hard-drive and do a factory restore on my laptop. So of course I have had to reload all my software. The problem I'm having is SU8 gives me no open or save function. I click on file open and it closes with no action. Same with save as, import, export. I can save as template. I can also open a file by double clicking on it. OD course this isn't useful if u cant save it. I have tried just about every fix I can think of but no luck. I have uninstalled it many times, tried to clean any reference to it in the registry that I can find. Played around with user settings. I didn't have any problem before. The only thing I can think of to do at this point is do another factory restore and see if its a problem with windows. I am using Vista. I really don't want to do that due to the days of downloading updates and having to re-install so many different programs.
