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