After the recent windows updates and such - my draftsight has quit working (windows 7 32bit)

It seems to open fine - but to a grey screen. I click file - open - and try to open a drawing and it hangs up. I click on help - nothing. Click on about - nothing.

On another note - i can log in as an Administrator and it works just fine. when I opened draftsight under administrator it first pulled up a "proxy settings" box which i filled out and it all worked great.... how can i get that box to pull up under my normal account?

Could there be something wrong with my profile? i have checked all my proxy and ie connections settings - they look the same as admin's.

Here is what i have done to try and fix the issue:

1. uninstall - reinstall

2. update video driver

3. downgrade video driver to older version

4. Proxy settings (installed proxy client, uninstalled client, manually entered IE settings, etc...)

any help is apprecaited!

Thanks
