Question
When ever i start autocad, there is an error.The dialogue box comes saying in some computer language which i cannot understand.also one more problem, a wierd problem, once it is 6 p.m in my computer clock the commands dont work properly, like the copy command does move and vice versa.
thank you..

Answer
What is the message that's coming up?  

The problem with your commands not working sounds like the license is being shared on a global basis and your time has expired for the day.  Autodesk has global licensing so that large clients can have Autocad on computers in different parts of the world using them at different times of the day and sharing the same serial number.

If you're not on global licensing, you might want to just try a reinstall.  The time wasted trying to figure out the problem will take much longer than doing a reinstall.

Hope that helps.
