You need to load the DBCON.CUI file. It should be situated in the C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20##\R##.#\enu\Support folder on WinXP ... Vista has it somewhere else.
You could load it through the CUI command, but I find the MENULOAD command to work easier for this.
In Vista it is:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20##\R1#.#\enu\Support
True and that was what I did and it still didn't work. Could be disabled somehow?
Might be that something's broken. Could be any of a number of things, but basically they all come down to the idea that the dynamically loaded library (DLL, ARV, LSP, etc.) is not loaded into ram.
Try a repair install & also check that your support folders are set to the relevant standard paths. These should be something like:
There's probably others as well, and even some extra for custom routines. If it still fails to load, try loading the DLL files in the AutoCAD program folder starting with acdb....
- The folder mentioned before (XP / Vista alternatives)
- C:\Program Files\AutoCAD20##\Support
