I had this already two times. When in the search service tab I try do download and save a post the save dialogue window does not appear. UE continues to function, but the save dialogue options is ghosted and cannot be selected. I have to shut down UE to be able to save again.
I work in windows 7 64 bit with the 64 bit version of UE.
Save window does sometimes not appear in 64 bit version
Check the GDI objects count, if it remains stable or it is fast growing.
Do you mean the dialog does not appear but you still are able to continue using UE window, what do you mean by "ghosted"?
Does it also happen with 32 bit version?
In Win7 I noticed recently 64 bit version (maybe 32 bit as well, I didn't check) shuts down slowly and I think it was shutting down fast in the past, maybe some system update did it, I have clean system only for 64 bit compilation and tests, otherwise still using Win XP.
The code is the same, to compile 64 bit version I'm using the latest official version of visual studio, the code is the same, the dialog is actually a windows dialog.
If the dialog is somewhere since it is modal I understand you wouldn't be able to access the rest of application until it is closed, if it doesn't open it might be running out of resources.

I will check GDI objects count.
I can still use UE. But when I try again to download and save attachment the option is greyed out and not selectable again (ghosted).
I did not have this problem with the 32 bit version. I am using windows 7 from the beta version but now did a fresh install with an ultimate edition and a good reason to switch to 64 bit as much as possible.
I have no problems shutting down UE. It is as fast as ever.
And I know you are using window routines. I will check the task manager to see if something non UE is causing this.
For now it is not a big problem because UE keeps on functioning and I just have to shut down and start again (and it doesnot happen often, two times in the last four weeks). But I just want to mention it to see if I am the only person or there are more people with this problem.

Do you mean the context menu? It is not the save dialog then.
The option is greyed out if the program is in the middle of another search or import headers action.
The button in the search service bar shows "Search" when there is no action invoked. When there is an action in progress the button changes to "Cancel". If you want to cancel the current action in progress - press the cancel button.
When the button shows "Cancel" the context menu entries are greyed out - disabled.
E.g. if you import headers it may involve significant amount of data, since UE has to download maybe thousands of message-ids from the search server, sometimes they are random and cannot be effectively compressed.
But if the search doesn't end indefinitely it means the search thread won't exit, it might be some problem e.g. with antivirus or firewall. You can verify it by pressing the "Cancel" button, if it remains "Cancel" it may be such a problem, if it reads "Search" again it might be slow route to the search service, if you can check then if there is something coming in when there is nothing else to download - if I remember it right UE doesn't include search into download bandwidth in the status bar, although maybe it could.

No, I mean when I select the collection to download you can do this in the right menu mousebutton option (download and save attachement). But then nothing happens while the save dialog box should open. You can still then do everything else in UE. But selecting again with the right mouse button download and save attachment you are not able to select it because the text is light grey (ghosted) and not selectable.
Yes, it is what I'm talking about.
The save dialog opens only after the headers have been downloaded from the search service server, in between we have operation in progress, so the import options in the context menu are greyed out (disabled) and the "Search" button text is changed to "Cancel", so you can cancel the current operation.
Do you see "Cancel" leftmost button text in the search service dialog bar? If you press it ... - in short reread my previous reply. How many gigabytes are you trying to import?

Oh, I see what you mean. I wil try to press cancel the next time it happens to see what the action is. Am I correct that the button changes from cancel to search only after the save dialog box has appeared?
And I will check if this behaviour is with large or small collections. I could not have been more then DVD size.

Not sure if this will help, but I recall that:
VIEW -> Windows Visual Themes == I think I remember that if unchecked in Vista/Win7 x64 it gave me some issues with import to save dialog popups...? Probably just me though... Easy enough to check so please forgive me if I'm being ignorant
Sorry if I'm missing the point, just had a deja-vu for the problem and thought I'd stumble in...
