I load lisp files (using 2002 autocad) and some of them work, others do not. Why dosen't some of them do not?

[CCarleton]

I'm not super fluent in LISP routines. I've written a few script ones and know a few basics, but I also haven't written one in a while. That being said my experience has been that I've had multiple LISPs break over the years with newer versions of CAD, some of them I've been able to fix and others I've never been able to. If you're using newer LISPs on 2002 then it might not jive with the version.

If you post the LISPs that don't work here someone may be able to fix them for you.

You are using a version of AutoCAD that is over 16 years old.
Many strange things can and will happen with Lisp Routines that were written in newer versions.

A lot of routines rely on standard AutoCAD commands to function. Every version ever features "new" commands that weren't in the previous version.
If your routine calls a command that is not in your version, well, it aborts.

Like CCarleton stated, post the crashing routine. Maybe we can help you.

Well vote maybe, and serve in the military, but in most states, not old enough to drink (legally)

Looks like associative dimensioning was new, the Enhanced Attribute Editor, as well as a lot of stuff that died, such as "iDrop", "Point A", "Bulletin Board for AutoCAD Today".
Not sure about "Project Point", "Plans & Specs", and "Construction Manager" - they are not listed in the Autodesk Graveyard, but perhaps they were never considered real apps?
