Hi,
>> My OS: Win XP - SP2 - 64bit / Ram: 3GB
May I ask why you have installed a 64bit OS when you have only 3GB memory built in?
XP 64bit is imho not the best choice as most of the drivers for XP are not really stable for 64bit.
What I'm missing in this list is the graphic card you use, if it's a graphic card with shared memory then the 3GB main memory are decreased again.
>> File size is 867 KB only.
What does the file contain and how much memory does AutoCAD then use (look to the taskmanager).
The filesize does nothing tell you about the needs to the hardware, e.g. I can create a 100KB file that can't be opened on a workstation with 8GB memory. That can be done with different ways, using MINSERT or XREF are two possible options to get such results.
If this crashes only appears with that drawing then you can run command _AUDIT to check the drawing's database, if there are errors found, let the command repair them. Also an option is to create a new drawing and use copy & paste to copy just the modelspace objects from the defect drawing to the new one.

Hello from France
+1 with Alfred
A PC with 3 Gb Ram must be installed with a good old Win XP Pro 32 bits + SP3
Win XP Pro 64 bits has many problems especially with drivers : graphic card, printer/plotter, etc ...
AND for a 64 bits Windows, you must have 4 Gb Ram ...
Have you installed the SP 1.1 then the SP 2 ?

Hi,
>> Thanks for reply but still I am facing the same problem.
You got some suggestions and questions but don't answer the questions and you don't tell us what you tried from those suggestions and what are the results.
Without that we can give the same tips again and again, but don't get more forward.
