I've been getting this error alot lately

[Murph_map]

no far nothing. its a random crash/error. and not at all predictable

I would start with cleaning up your temp file folder. From the start button > RUN type in %temp% then enter, now delete all files in that folder that windows lets you.
Next I would see what other apps are running when you get the crashes, look in the events logs from the control panel> Admim Tools > Event Viewer.
Also are you opening/using dwgs from a network drive?

well I had 19Gigs in my temp folder, so im cleaning that up. I will keep an eye on the event log and post the latest reason why it crashed.

Thanks

WSCommCntr1.exe is the AutoCAD communication center. Disabling it might at least solve the direct problem: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/r...r1-exe-tip6914

You've got to "kill" to make sure it is really dead. Did you?

[SLW210]

Try THIS to kill SPYCENTER (a.k.a. infocenter).

[ReMark]

Yes. You want it "dead" not just "shut off".
