ArcToolbox tools are all blank white windows
The programs run (ArcMap and ArcCatalog) but ArcToolbox is totally broken. That is, ArcToolbox shows up and looks pretty, but if you launch a tool, it is a blank, white window with nothing at all inside. True for all tools.
ESRI Support said to rename the ESRI folder in the Registry like this:
- Make sure all ArcGIS programs are closed
- Open Regedit (Start > Run > "regedit")
- Expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder
- Expand the Software folder within HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Rename the ESRI folder to ESRI_OLD
Close Regedit and reopen ArcToolbox. The tools should be available. They were. Ate up half a day, but I'm used to it by now.
