Failed to update the system registry.

Hi,

When I try to open AutoCAD using non-admin account, an error message appears that states "Failed to update the system registry. Please try using REGEDIT". Is there a way to resolve this error? This error generates a lot of malfunctions, like dimensioning, it hungs up, or hungs up when you do a fast zoom and many other things. I tried using an admin account, it works, no problems or errors at all. But it's not at all times I can use an admin account because the PC I'm using is intended for non-admin account, so I need to resolve this problem.

Thanks and more power.

Xavier,

The application is not able to write to the registry when you login as a normal user because you installed it as Administrator.
(In a network environment, Non-Administrative users receive this Windows message).
If you do not want to provide the power user rights to the users, you can add the user to the power user group and login the user (the application will have the registry entries written) and then you can remove the user from the power user group.
(Control panel->administrative tools->computer management->users and groups, You click on power user group and just add the user).
