BIDS Variable Window Disappeared

I am experiencing a weird problem with SSIS development in BIDS...
When I click "View --> Other Windows --> Variables", the window doesn't show
up.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so did you solve it, and how?
Thanks!
Hello Dan,
The actual window itself or the ability to edit variables?
Are you sure the window isn't already open just tabbed with the toolbox or
something like that?
What build are you running?

|||Allan,
Thanks for the reply.
The window itself doesn't show up. I have the window in auto-hide on the
left (with the toolbox on the left). When I traverse the menu (as stated) a
blank box appears as if it is trying to show me what I've asked.
I can get to (and edit) the variables by using the package explorer tab -
just not from the variables window.
Here are the builds of the different products I'm using:
-Microsoft Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals Version
2.0.50727.251
-Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Explorer
Version 8.0.50727.762
-Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 9.00.3042.00
Thanks again for the help...
