How to Get Rid of a Nuisance Dialog Box?

[Al Launier]

It's been quite a while since I've used CA (economy impact). I have CA 10.
08b Full Version. I originally had it on Windows XP, but in April I got a new PC, so I've had it on Windows Vista Home Premium and use a Logitech Cordless Click Optical Mouse.

I've just received a job requiring a quick turn-around and I'm finding some nuisances going on. The most aggravating is when I point to an object, whether a wall, a dimension, etc, the object specification dialog box opens up. This is a real time consuming PIA.

Another nuisance is when I attempt to use the Zoom icon. I click on the icon and attempt to point&drag the area to be enlarged. Instead of enlarging the desired area, I end up getting a blank area of the drawing. I then have to go back to the starting point & try again (several times) or use the wheel on the mouse to zoom in.

Any ideas on what I can do to resolve these nuisances?

Really appreciate your help.
