Can't save & open files

[mshoai]

I can open lt2000i, I can draw lines, insert blocks, plot....., but when I try to save my drawing I get a fatal error. The same story, when I try to open a drawing I get the same fatal error.
I have uninstalled & reinstalled it twice.
Any suggestion?

Thanks

We may need to know you operating system information to
assist further.

I have found a couple of obscure causes to similar problem,
only not exactly your error message.

It seems that one should not copy any objects more than 10 times
and then use the right mouse key to end the operation.

Then there is this : http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...linkID=2475323
that has to do with some installation of a product from Verizon Wireless??

Or this one...http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...linkID=2475323

Is this a NEW problem, as in it all worked last week?

I'm starting to think you should


A) Install all service packs for AutoCAD

B) Back up your data, and customizations
Format your Hard Drive and reinstall ONLY you Operating System and
video, and mouse drivers and AutoCAD and then test.

Extreme maybe, only this would reduce the number of variables
you have to evaluate to find the cause. As I would have a tough time
imagining the every drawing that you have is corrupt and requires
recovery. This is happening with EVERY drawing, not just one, right?
IF it is only one drawing it is corrupt, attempt to wblock out the contents of
that drawing and insert into a new one.
Or DXFOUT the drawing and DXFIN to a new drawing.

we are using xp, & sp2 is not installed on that machine yet.

& it is the same error message with the exactly the same reading.

If I understand that this is happening for EVERY drawing
and you have installed ALL service packs for AutoCAD

We'll see you when you are done reformatting your hard drive.
