Is there a way to verify Autocad is crashing on users's pc.

Hello: I have a user that is having issues with Autocad crashing several times a day.

I wanted to know if there's a way to verify that it's actually crashing as they are saying?

Thanks,

Proctor

Windows Event log

Calling Dr Watson to the Emergency Room... STAT

What Operating System? I never used it for diagnostics myself, but I think if it's running, each application crash will be logged in drwtsn32.log

Theyr'e using window 7 with autocad 2009 mechanical.

Looking at it remotely and trying to replicate is a good idea. I'm also googling the windows event log and dr. watson to learn more......

Thanks for the info....and help!!!

I saw AutoCAD2006 under your name and guessed it may have been an older OS... I don't think DrWatson is in Win7
