Why does Acad Crash every 3-4days? xp acad 2002

Usually happens when running certain background utilities, such as a virus checker (especially Norton). Try disabling them one at a time until the problem goes away. ___

thank for the reply. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury to turn off Norton on my work computer.

Do you leave AutoCAD open always? Try shutting ACAD down at the end of each day. I think ACAD tends to 'hog' memory and when it runs out it crashes. I notice that my version of ACAD2002 on my XPpro machine gets slow after a while. Sometimes it crashes too. I just close ACAD and reopen and it works fast again. Garth.

Agreed. Also type status on the autocad command line and be sure you have some free physical memory left or things could get unstable and slow.

Not enough RAM is not my problem. As I said I have 1Gig Ram.

you could also try running diagnostic programs on your motherboard, processor and ram to see that there are no hardware faults.
