Windows 7 & cad 2006 help

[Andy_con]

Mock all you want 😉

Ive got my trusty windows 7 laptop running my trusty version of autocad 2006, been using this setup for 10 years plus.

The other week cad started playing up, every time I click open or save it crashes and I get not responding.

Uninstall cad and reinstalled but I cannot resolve the issue. Its been working fine for over 10 years.

This issue has brought my workshop to a stand still, I did everything on cad.

Someone help, please 😭

Doesn't sound very trusty?

Command prompt, run as admin.

Type Chkdsk /f c: press enter and then reboot. Let it run its scan and load back up.

Worth a go at least.

Also, check event viewer

It did whatever it did and then laptop just started up. So no idea if it found any issues 🤷

Event viewer shows this

You're connected to the internet.

That's your problem.

 

[Andy_con]

I hate computers

I’d just give up now if I were you and find a new, more updated and workable solution .

Old software, the event viewer log tells you that the software is not compatible with that version of Windows. Could bean update or anything that’s knocked it out.

You could try a system restore to before it was an issue and hope for the best.
