AboutBob Expertise I am good at getting Architects and Interior Designers who are intimidated by Autocad, ADT, etc. to feel comfortable, get things done.
PLEASE GIVE ME:
1- some background on you and your skills, and what field you are working in, so I can reply at your level and dont give architecture answers to an engineer
2- the reason you want to do what you are asking, so I will know I am helping you to get to a goal (maybe I have a better way to suggest)
3- the release of AutoCAD you are using
4- how much AutoCAD training you have taken
THAT WAY -- your question will be easy to answer more clearly. Thanks, BOB

Question I recently uninstalled acad14 on my computer and then tried to reinstall it. got the same error message as someone else asking the same question... c:\windows\system32\autoecec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows applications..... close to terminate the application. I get this when i try to lauch the install. I own a licenced copy of autocad and have sucessfully installed it on my portable computer etc. Any sugestions....
Answer Hi--
I am going to presume that you uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times to make sure. You left out telling me whether the laptop is also XP, which is relevant.
I am not the programming or installation expert -- but I never see any Autodesk product not install on XP, so I am tempted to suggest something wrong on your end
--- some other software that "ate" part of the R14, such as spywear or virus programs, or ???
I try to guide people to finding their own answers, when I don't know -- it is better learning for them, and allows me to respond, and start you out, rather than passing the question and leaving you unhelped.
