I'm new to LT 2000i and running Win98 2nd edition. Unfortunately I agree w/
you concerning System Suite Registry Cleaner and LT. I just ran System Suite
3 Registry Cleaner. Although I previously had no prblems w/ LTI now have the
following error message upon opening LT when it tries to initially bring up
AutoCAD LT Today:
Startup Of AutoCAD Today: Internet Explorer Script Error
-an error has occurred in the script of this page:
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL: file://C:\Program\AutoCADLT2000i\AcToday.htm
Being new I have the following questions:
1. Is there anything I can add/adjust to easily" solve this problem?
2. If not, where would I go to find out how to reinstall LT w/out
loosing my LT preferences, files, etc.?
Sorry for the length of this message, thanks in advance for any advice.
