Does anyone know what acadficn.dll does? It appears all over the registry.

Yes, its a last resort, but one that ALWAYS works for software issues! In this case it's obviously a Registry issue with Windows... One thing you might try is another un-install, then re-install it after a re-boot, but this time install AutoCAD either in a different directory or better yet, on your other HD. In theory this may force Windows to change (over-write) the old Registry entries as AutoCAD would be in an entirely different location (perhaps a totally different drive) than it was running in the previous installation and Windows would have to tell itself where to find the appropriate files (and settings) all over again.Originally Posted by johnbogie
Also, be sure to do the install as Administrator to ensure this doesn't have to do with XP's security privileges.

Thanks Brian.
I've a couple of other ideas to try before doing that. I'll report back later.

As promised, here is the solution -
I downloaded a freeware utility called Agent Ransack and ran it.
It found a shortcut - target.lnk - which pointed to a non-existant UNC path (\\P2-350\SharedDocs). Erased the file - no more problem.
It wasn't any of the solutions that I anticipated - but then they rarely are.
Oh, and I appologise for the silly thread name.
Hi JohnOriginally Posted by johnbogie
Thanks for posting back the solution. I am sure others will benefit from such information in the future.
I have also taken the liberty of renaming the thread ( I hope you approve, please let me know if you would rather see a different title ).

Thanks Mike, the title is (now) fine.Originally Posted by Mike.Perry
