Error installing Update 2 AutoCAD 2010 Windows 7

[ReMark]

So where do we stand at the moment?

I am too bogged down with work to try an uninstall and reinstall so I will have to wait. Thanks for all of your help. I will post up after I try to reinstall.

[ReMark]

Suit yourself. I suppose doing nothing and just hobbling along is a choice as well. An expensive and frustrating choice but one none-the-less. Good luck.

[erockxp]

Haha. I meant waiting until tomorrow...or later today.

Well I tried reinstalling AutoCAD (thanks for the motivation ReMark) and applying update 2 first thing. AutoCAD continues to crash when I try to open drawing files. Any ideas?

[ReMark]

Perhaps AutoCAD doesn't like your hardware setup for some reason.

Could it be the OP is running out of memory? He only has 3 GB of RAM

[erockxp]

I hope that is not the issue. I tried a driver update last week and it is crashing less but will still not install the update.

[paisis123]

Mmm, something is definitely wrong when it will not let you install, at this point, a required update.

 

But to my experience the more RAM, the better, especially when you can get upwards of 8 GB of RAM for cheap.

Is this a legal copy of AutoCAD?

[erockxp]

Maybe more ram is the answer and yes it is a legal copy.

[paisis123]

Yes, more RAM is nice. But what you are experiencing is a software issue not a hardware related one.
