ranchi Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey Guys! I'm having problems with my AutoCAD at work. I'm using AutoCAD 2009. Well heres the situation; -double click CAD icon on desktop -CAD message pops up saying that CAD isn't installed properly and to reinstall it and whether I wanted to continue with CAD (I clicked no) -thus I reinstalled CAD and restarted the pc -same message pops up this time click yes to continue -then moments after CAD is opened Fatal Error Message (as titled) pops up and shuts down CAD -tried reinstalling it several times but problem does not cease to occur Anyone any ideas on how to fix this, as CAD is a major tool for my job. Much Appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Could be you introduced an error in the Windows Registry the first time you tried installing the program. What OS are you running? BTW, does your computer meet the minimum requirements for running AutoCAD as specified by AutoDesk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchi Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey man! Thanks for the reply. I've been using AutoCAD for bout 5/6months on this machine without any problems and I came into work one day and it didn't feel like working anymore. The pc that I'm using in this office doesn't meet the min requirement for AutoCAD 09, but like I said I've been working on CAD09 on this machine for 5/6months now so I don't think that's the problem. And the OS is Windows XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well that is indeed very strange. Had you been keeping up-to-date with all service updates for XP and service packs for 2009? Previous to the start of your problems had you made any changes to your computer either hardware-wise or software-wise? What is the current state of AutoCAD? Installed or not installed?

ranchi Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Strange indeed I havent made any changes to the pc before the CAD bailed out on me. and windows is on automatic update so i assume everything on the pc is up to date. Currently CAD is installed and un-use-able, so I might as well have it unistalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcox29 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I started having the EXACT same problem as described by Ranchi in first post. My computer is well above ACAD LT 2009 minimum specs, running XP Pro, has been working fine for months and then all of a sudden today, this! I've unistalled and reinstalled at least three times since this afternoon and no luck. Help! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcox29 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I ended up calling Dell support. The computer this was happening on is only 8 months old. They said that error was typically an operating system error. Had me do several things that did not work, and then finally just had me back everything up and re-install my operating system. I had been running XP Pro but had a Vista upgrade and went to it in the process. All was fine after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
