ArcMap 10 Toolbox will not load tools.

[CoreyLunsford]

Its very strange, this. I have been having problems for the last week. I am trying to append data. When I open toolbox, and click on append, it hyperlinks me to an internet description of what append does but does not open the actual tool. I used it just fine two weeks ago. I tried to open other tools and got the same results. Any assistance would be really appreciated. My boss is becoming very irate.

Hi, this is the message I got when trying to open any tool from the search catalog menu,
"Adding this item is not supported or the application that opens it is not found",
Hope you can help me!

*Make sure you do not have any ArcGIS application running etc

* Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\[logged in USERNAME]\Application Data\ESRI

* Delete the ArcToolbox folder

* Restart ArcMAp and try opening ArcToolbox

I tried what cory mentioned but still nothing. When I open the buffer tool for example or any tool for that matter. There is nothing but a gray screen. No where to input data or even data fields. All that is are the OK, cancel, environment and help buttons at the bottom. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and still nothing. Any help would be very much appreciated! Attached is an example.
Also the program will crash often once any tool is open.

Hello Everybody!
I had the same problem in Win7 64 - ArcMap did not load ArcToolbox windows. I've tried different solutions, but without good results. The only one thing, that helped me - was to install new version of Internet Explorer (for now it is IE v.11). Now I know, that all problems wit ArcMap was caused by Internet Explorer - so - try this solution.
Regards!
