hjhdesigns Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I believe an overzealous cleanup of my computer deleted a registry file that caused Autocad to crash frequently. I ran the program repair and it fixed the crashing problem, but my toolbars were missing. When I open up the CUI and try to do anything at all, I get an error message that says Write permission denied. Unable to create:'C\Documents and Settings\Release Engineer.MACROVISION\ ApplicationData\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2007\R170.0\enu\support\acad.cui'. I unistalled/reinstalled Autocad and downloaded the SP2 for Autocad 2007, but the issue remains. Quote
ReMark Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Some Registry cleaners are a tad overzealous. Did you also somehow deny yourself admin rights? Quote
hjhdesigns Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 I turned off the UAC and everything is working fine. Now to figure out how to block Autocad from UAC control so I can turn it back on....Any ideas? Quote
ReMark Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 What version of Windows are you using? Quote

ReMark Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 As quoted from the Daily Reviewer dot com website: You can try running the application with Administrative privileges to circumvent it. Right click the applications executable > click Run as Administrator. Instructions for turning off UAC available John Barnetts Vista FAQ page: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/turn_off_user_account_control.htm Quote
