I'm not much of an ENVI person, but I *think* you have
execute those two ENVI commands from the IDL main-level.
That is, not from inside a program module. (I seem to recall
having the same problem once.)

The invalid widget identifier comes about when you try
to use a widget identifier in a command and that widget
no longer exists. This could happen, for example, if you
saved a program that used widgets, then killed all the widgets.
When you restore the program, you will have to re-create all
the widgets and update the widget identifiers. Otherwise, this
is exactly what can happen.

Cheers,

David
