AutoCAD closes as soon as it is opened

[amanda_duvall]

I have a user that when he opens AutoCAD, it closes right away. It won't stay open long enough to blink. Any suggestions?

Has AutoCAD ever worked for this user? I've seen this happen with non-supported graphics cards and AutoCAD. You may want to download the latest graphics card drivers to see if this helps as well as check out the supported hardware page:

Can also happen with network lic, unable to get a lic.

With AutoCAD LT, I've had issues with Data Execution Prevention in windows not allowing AutoCAD to start up.

I've never heard of it happening on regular AutoCAD however.

Hi "amanda_duvall"

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the Software forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense on Autodesk's part.

I have never seen a case where the user did not get a message like the attached when a client could not obtain a license.

I doubt that is the reason.

Is this a standalone seat installed from a media disk, or a multi-seat stand alone or network licensed seat installed from a deployment?

What happens if you log in as a different user on this machine and try to start AutoCAD?

How many files are in the temp directory?
