There's no specific "XP versoin" of AutoCAD 2000; it should run just fine on WinXP. Do you have Administrator rights on the XP machine? ___
Set the compatibility mode to Win2000 or WinNT
"System requirements error Wrong OS. AutoCAD supports Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 5.0, Windows95 and Windows98"
and thats it? All ideas appreciated...
Open Windows HELP and search on "compatibility mode." ___
Right click on the executable file or shourcut, select properties, select the compatibility tab
Unfortuantely there isnt a reference to this in XP help...
Strange. There is on my system. ___
I've read a little about it on mine, too......XP Home edition, anyway.
98 here at work, so I can't check it at the moment.Paul Turvill wrote:
Compatalbility might only be on Windows XP Pro
I have Windows XP Pro as the OS on two machines and have AutoCAD 2000i installed on both.
They work just fine.
The "secondhand" version you mentioned in your original post is probably not a "good" or a valid version.
Perhaps, buying a "new" version would eleviate you problem with whatever OS you are running.
I have never had a problem with AutoCAD installing on any system OS. It's practically fool-proof as long as you have a valid version of the software.
Best regards ...
