Autocad 2013

[Pilch]

I am having nothing but trouble getting 2013 to run reliably. I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion.

Lenovo W520 notebook
Intel i7 processor
16GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional

If AutoCAD loads at all, it will throw an error when I exit the progam every time.

I have tried Product Design Suite - Premium and Factory Desigh Suite - Ultimate. I get the same error regardless of which version I try.

On a network?

We had all manner of problems because you need to download/run first time with full network admin rights.

Sorry for the ommision...

I am running a standalone license on the notebook. Although, the computer is connected to a network.
I have full administrator rights.

did you install the new service pack?

[ReMark]

What new service pack? There is no service pack, update or hotfix listed on the AutoDesk website for AutoCAD 2013.

first of all... how is what i said "Ironic"
second of all i thought i saw a hotfix download when i installed 2013, but i just realized it 3ds max 2013 that already had a service pack available

Ironic because every single time (IME) a new release of any Autodesk product it's closely followed by a 'fix' to sort out all of the issues the beta testers told them about but they flatly ignored

Irony/ironic call it what you like. a 20 year old piece of software shouldn't need a 'fix' when you subscribe to it annually

[ReMark]

Any piece of software is going to need a fix or an update if it is being constantly revised to add totally new features or to increase the functionality of pre-existing features. How many millions of lines of code are there in 2013? Not that I'm siding with AutoDesk as sometimes the programmers end up introducing problems where there weren't any to begin with. That's what tends to set me on edge.

Your subscription gives you access to additional bonus features and help when a problem arises. It's also a way of keeping up to date with the latest release by spreading the cost over multiple years. It does not guarantee you a perfect product.

I've been working with MEP2013 for two weeks now....Looking forward for bugs to be fixed.

Randomly I lose the ability to save documents, ole links are constantly broken, basic functions are randomly disabled, strange alterations happen to locked viewports

Haven't heard back from AutoDesk in over 24 hours.
