Can I run AutoCAD 2000 on Windows 7

Hi all,
I am new to this discussion group and need help.
I am still using my AutoCAD 2000.
I just upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7.
Is there a workaround. Can I change the compatability settings to get AutoCAD 2000 to work?

Thank you,

Jeff

Would either one of these work?  This came from Tiger Direct.

" because ther is no lpt1 port availabe in a new motherboard is their any other way to fix this matter "

 

Thery big number of new motherboards (Check with you local hardware providers) from "Intel" (DH77KC, DH77EB), "ASUS" and "Gigabyte"  (GA-H77M-D3H, GA-H77M-D3H) with last chipsets have onboard Parallel Port (via Internal Header). But not have external connector (LPT bracket 26pin to 25pin).

 

You need one like this from the list 

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=LPT+connector&_sop=15&_osacat=31491&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573....

 

for each motherboard.

 

Simple install in Windows XP 32bit and Windows 7 32bit.

Need only run in compatibility with Windows 2000 and "run as administrator" in Windows 7

You need update hardware lock (plug) driver for Sentinel from new support site: http://c3.safenet-inc.com/display_results_google.asp?DocId=19141

 

In Windows 7 64bit and Windows 8 64bit - need more "tricks". Replace setup.exe (for 32bit program this file build as 16bit application) with this http://toastytech.com/files/Is3Engine.zip. Also run in compatibility with Windows 98 (Windows 8 not have option for Windows 2000) and "run as administrator". But You not have option to install serivis pack and express update. After first installation need only copy all AutoCAD folder and Autodesk Shared from another, updated, XP computer or installed in XP mode, Virtual PC or VMWare mashine.

 

This Intel Workstation board include Back Panel LPT connector:

This Gigabyte boards also have Back Panel LPT Connectors

Hi,

 

I am having the same problem with the arrow or pan "hand" in the center of the cross hairs. I have had Windows 7 pro installed, and installed Autocad 2000 in the virtual XP mode. It all works, except for the arrow and hand, which are very distracting.

 

I know this is late, but is anyone still out there that knows how to fix this problem?

 

Thanks
