I have been using the same Working Folder and Data Shortcuts since January of this year. My AutoCAD crashed yesterday and ever since then I haven't been able to reset my working folder. When I select the correct folder, one that I have been using for the past 8 months, the program just freezes and will do absolutely nothing for as long as I will let it sit. I even tried selecting a parent and child folder of the shortcuts folder, just to double check I was selecting the correct folder. When I select the wrong folder, nothing happens, but when I select the correct folder, the program locks up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if there is some registry error that has happened that I can fix, or some other simple solution.
i'd try a install repair before getting into a support request.
Process Monitor ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 ) from Microsoft is a to help diagnose what is going on with any process...you may want to try using that to see what is going on when the app appears hung or just before crashing.
