cadtag that's great all I need is sarcasm!!! Hard to believe that I'm the only AUGI user that doesn't have a choice and needs to use what they can for software. Seems like a viable question to me!!

Thanks again!!!

I really don't think cadtag was being sarcastic - if he were, there would be no doubt about it. ;-)
What he says does make some sense.

John's right -- when I get snarky it'll be obvious.:mrgreen: no sarcasm meant here at all... and seriously, my local goodwill is full of dell precision 380s dumped by corporate. that's a circa 2006 XP box, with sata hard drive and nvidia 256mb graphics. That's better than anything you could have bought new in 2003 to run LDDT 2004. generally $125/ea.

So is our supply closet....

if you want to ship them this way to free up space, I'll set them up to run on world community grid's 'cure cancer now' application. Pull the hard-drives out to protect company info -- i've got a pile of ide drives that will work. atm i've got 5 junkers running on that task....

My wife passed away from breast cancer, so I try to support the research efforts where I can.

Just to update everyone:

For the record I installed my Autocad Land Desktop 2004 on my Windows 7, 64bit machine without any major problems. I had to add the location of the ac1st16.dll file location to environmental variables (under my computer) and I had to open Autocad/Land Desktop 2004 as an administrator. It’s running smooth as can be!!!

Sincerely,

rbrekke

I am contract IT for several offices which use AutoDesk products. I signed up today just to report that I was able to get Land Desk 2004 installed on Windows 7 x64 with a single minor tweak which did not require setting any environment variables.
