Hello,

I have a lab of about 24 workstations that our students learn Autodesk on. While working in Inventor when the students click on the "I" (Inventor icon) on the top left of the program it will shutdown Inventor. When I log into the computer and try it works fine. Anyone have any ideas why this could be happening?

Thanks

Could it have anything to do with the permissions levels for your respective ID's? I assume that the instructor level ID has a higher level setting than the students.

When Inventor was installed was it installed so that ALL users would be able to run it?

I've installed some software on my home machine (TurboTax just so no one gets any funny ideas!) that I did not want my 9 year old to be able to run, so I know it is possible.

Double clicking on the Big I (or whatever is in that corner - check Excel or Word) closes the active program by (Windows) design.

Sometimes Inventor is a little slow to respond causing the user to click a second time thereby closing the program. This drove me crazy until I realized what was going on (someone else filled me in on the secret).

Did you try it with a student logged in?
Can they not use Inventor at all?
It could be a double click because of mouse sensitivity.
