NinjaSan,
I have tried to understand what to do to get 14 on vista, but to no avail. I found the .dll file you are talking about and renamed it. OK, but that didn't help. You say, replace .dll files that work with vista, how do I do that? And then what do I do? I went to regedit and changed to administrator, but I still get the smart heap error. My 2000 works OK but my 14 is a looser.
Help! Thanks again--domo arigato

Hi, guys. I was having the same problem getting R14 to run on my new Toshiba with Vista. Thanks muchly; I did as you described and it's up and running nicely. Milles mercis! Interesting glitch has developed. When I try to Insert a Raster Image, the message that comes up is 'unknown command "Image"'. Not quite sure why that is or what the solution is. Anyone got any ideas? -Cheers

It seems to works well. The only thing is my mouse. I can not zoom and drag with scroll button. Solution?

Thanks

This .dll has not changed anything except slowed down the bad mem pointer error coming up. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for your help with the Acad14/Vista problem. I've had success with your suggestions but am having font file problems.
Vista is not recognizing my .shx font files and is substituting with system font files. any suggestions.
Thanks

This fix works great! I'm not sure which permission actually did the trick though. I tried changing as many as I could, but to no avail. I then modified the permissions on the root AUTOCAD directory and ran autocad as admin. Everything works great now. Thanks Ed S!!

Would you be able to send me more explicit instructions on how you were able to make AutoCAD 14 work on Vista. I never imagined I would ever run into this problem "upgrading" my computer and its operation system (Vista). Thank you. rhfecteau@yahoo.com

I'm a long-time lurker here, but I just joined the group for one reason only:
To post this THANKS for this thread on R14 & Vista.

I just read all the words of wisdom, did what I'm told, and it worked slick as can be.... You have made the old biker very happy.

I too am a long time lurker and just cannot figure this out. Could someone please help me or tell me whom I can call to receive assitance. I'm willing to pay that's how frustrated I am. At first I was getting the 2 typical errors Mem_heap and so on. I downloaded the new dll file and dropped and dragged it into the property to replace the old dll file that was listed here. Now, Im getting a message

AutoCAD application is not working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly

Please help me. I'm guessing I need to uninstall the program, and reinstall 14 but then what do I do? I'm trying to get this up and running before work tomorrow.

I hate VISTA!

Thanks so much and I appreiate any feedback!

I too joined this group to say thanks, as I no longer get the Mem errors. However, it doesn't recognise my dongle. I noted when I installed AutoCAD an error message about "HP printers" came up. It was difficult enough finding a new computer which had a parallel port (no laptops - I had to get a low spec desktop PC). I think Vista looks great, but a shame it doesn't work with most of my existing applications.

I am running R14 with windows vista. I cannot change dimension style or use some of the commands. I get the message unknown command. Can this be corrected?
