• Rename or delete the UIState.dat file located in the Autodesk Revit 2011 folder (rename to anything of your choice, like UIState.old), which can be found in one of the following locations, depending on your operating system:
   
  Windows XP
  
  %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit {Product Name} 2012 
   
  Windows Vista or Windows 7
  
  %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit {Product Name} 2012

• Using the Windows Registry editor, rename the following registry key to anything of your choice (Panels_backup for example):
   
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit {Product Name} 2012\Components\Panels

Replace {Product Name} with Architecture, Structure, or MEP
