ACAD 2012 Communication Center / Need ADSK Help

[SRayC]

We have been fighting ACAD 2012 freezing during launch. Very sporadically. Finally figured out it was the wscommcntr3.exe (InfoCenter) not closing when ACAD was shut down. I found that there is a similar issue with 2011 products. I also found information on how to turn InfoCenter off through registry setting changes, but this is not very desirable. Is there a HotFix to correct this issue.

Thanks

Here is a link to the available Service Packs and "Fixes" for 2012:

Since AutoCAD is currently at 2014 versions, it's not likely there will be any additional "Fixes" for 2011 or 2012.

question for the OP:  What is undesirable about killing the Infocenter completely?  What value do you find in it, or what beneficial purpose does it serve in your operation?
