RE: FN-FORUM Autocad freezes

He was running it with 128Mb but added two more sticks to boost it with the
upgrade.
The video card and drivers are up to date as I installed them for him
myself.
I'll get him to do a reinstall and also try a test install on one of my
machines to see if I can reproduce the errors.
He is running as a local admin as this machine is a standalone.

300Mb isn't really much memory for Autocad. I have more than that to run
Word.

Is his video card (and drivers) certified for Win2k? I've heard other people
day the same thing - suggestions were make him a local admin and try a
reinstall. I think there is at least one patch for Win2k.

NO WINDOWS 2000 FOR AUTOCAD R14 USERS

Not-so-good news for those of you who want to run AutoCAD Release 14 or
earlier on Windows 2000: those who've tried it report problems caused by
16-bit code in Release 14. Windows 2000 is designed for 32-bit applications,
and those that use 16-bit need to be updated before they'll work with
Windows 2000. Alas, Autodesk "currently has no plans to test AutoCAD Release
14 running on Windows 2000 Professional." It also sounds like Autodesk plans
to fulfill requirements for Windows 2000 logo certification but won't
actually submit its products for certification testing.

However, Microsoft say it is compatible. Which means it runs (sort of)
