    Turn the UAC off from the getting started menu.

    User Account Control.

    Then install your program

    Try,

    Setting up virtual XP. on Windows 7 (I'm using Ultimate)

     

    Then go here.

    I did what he suggests for Auto Sketch 2.1 and it WORKED. Amazed.

     

    Finally I can dump that old XP machine. I have now got access to 15 years of autosketch drawings.

    Good Folk,

     

    Do any of the solutions mentioned so far (before 12/9/2011)

    on this topic work with windows 7 home premium?

     

    Has Autodesk indicated whether a version of Autosketch

    will be available that will work with Window 7 without the XP

    virtual machine?

     

    Thanks for any help - I sure can use it.

    Robert I use 'sketch 10 and Win7 (32 bit) at home, and 'sketch 10 and Win7 (64 bit) at work.

     

    The program runs just fine.

    I had to go the virtual  machine route (XP running on the machine as well as Win7) as well. AS ran fine at first in Win7 but then kept freezing and I couldn't do a "Save As." Autodesk  if not commenting on whether they will be offering an fix to AS10 or a new version that will allow the program to run in Win7. Very annoying as I cannot print AS files except to Acrobat.
