Open and save dialog boxes...

I am on a windows 7 pro 64 bit system.

When clicking on any of the open, save, import or export buttons, Zbrush will lock up or I should say time out.

How ever, GOZ and lightbox work fine.

I believe it is a permissions issue, but I can’t track down whats is doing it.

If I run in admin mode the dialog boxes will open. However, it is on a fresh boot of windows. If zbrush times out, then I try admin mode, zbrush will still time out.

What do I mean by lock up or time out?
When clicking on an I/O button, I will wait say 20 to 30 sec. while a circle mouse icon is displayed. I then click on the background UI of zbrush once or twice and the screen will go white with a dialog box asking if I want to wait or close zbrush. finially windows checks for errors, and I just click the cancel button.

This started back at version 4.0, I was able to fix it by changing the permissions to have access to read/write. As each progressive update came, I had to redo, this permission, to get it to work correctly. And now on this last version, It refuses to work correctly.
I have been putting it off, as goz is working fine, and that’s what I needed, but, it helps, if I can access the dialog boxes for I/O.

The thing is, I haven’t seen anyone else with this issue. So is the issue with my system, or do I need to do a reinstall?

Do you have any sort of virus scanning software running?

Norton Internet Security is running. I didn’t think to check that. I’ll let you know.

Disabling smart firewall and antivirus, does not seam to help.

UPDATE: Version 4R4 also does the same thing. Sooo, I decided to try disabling the DEP (Instructions included with Zbrush) and low and behold, it fixed it. Why this is the only app that requires this is beyond me, but anyone else having the same problem, will now know to try it.
