There were a few posts on this but no concrete solution. I'm getting this error now and basically all electrical functions are inoperable. Is there anything I can try before doing a complete uninstall/reinstall?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Be sure you have all updates installed for your version of Electrical. If all else fails, try a repair install or a complete re-install.

I went to add/remove programs and did a repair. This did not correct the problem. I did find this post which solved the problem:
"1. Close ACADE.
2. Browse to your user folder:
For example for ACE 2007, here is your user folder by default:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD
Electrical 2007\R17.0\enu\Support\User
3. Rename or delete the LastProj.fil file under this folder.
4. Restart ACADE"
Thanks, Cliff
