Question
Hi,

I have a new computer (5 mos. old which came with the Windows Vista (64 bit)and I would like to know how to make AutoCad 2010 work on it.  I understand that a 32 bit o.s. is what is needed.  What can I do short of spending a lot of money?

Frustrated Student

Answer
The easiest thing to do is to download the 64 bit version of Autocad and use it.  You can also stop by your friendly local reseller and ask for the 64 bit trial version and then use your student serial number to activate it.  Umm, you ARE using the autodesk student website for your software correct?
