jmkona Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi, I just switched over to a 64-bit computer. I'm using AutoCAD 2004 and windows 7. I never had problems with FATAL ERROR crashes with my old 32-bit computer. However now when I open the same files that I used to open on my last computer I'm getting a lot of FATAL ERROR messages that I never got before. My co-worker who also switched over to a 64-bit computer is having the same thing happening to him. He says that one way he is working around these crashes is by opening up a cad file a different way. He say he has to go into explorer right click and hit "open with" to open a cad file and not have it give a FATAL ERROR message. I'd appreciate any insight into this problems, otherwise I guess I'll be opening files with explorer for the rest of my life (or until I start using AutoCAD 2012). Mahalo!

SLW210 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Right-click the program and choose properties, then Compatability. If you right-click the Icon for the program you should have a selection for "Troubleshoot compatibility". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
