bobby36 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 After many attempts at running AutoCad 2008lt on windows 8 I've have found out that it is not compatable. Now running on windows 7 and I'm having problems with the Mtext edit. ie when I type a word it shows blank but it will still show an underscore if selected. Quote

Do I need to install a VM software platform so I can revert back to xp? Any ideas as I don't wish to buy a whole new program at this stage. Autodesk say they can't help??? They are not doing updates for 2008. Quote
ReMark Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Why would you expect AutoDesk to help? Support for AutoCAD 2008 was dropped some time ago which may account for the fact that you don't see any recent service packs being issued.

ReMark Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 When you installed LT 2008 did you also download and install the latest service pack? Quote
