We are a small company with 2 cad stations. We just upgraded to Windows 7 with autocad 2010. I installed on one cad station as a stand-alone with me being the Administrator. Autocad workd fine with me as the log in but when the person that is using the machine logged in autocad won't work, comes up with alot of errors and when it finally opens there is no ribbons and then says there is not acad file.
What I would like to know is should I do the install as a stand alone or install it the way they say with the Multi-seat stand-alone as me as the Administrator?
Thanks
Pat

All you need to do is give that user local admin rights to that machine and have them launch one time so that it has the rights to created those locations that it is erroring about. Then, should you choose, you can put back the restrictions. Though, as a network administrator myself, I would highly recommend that you give your engineers and designers local admin rights, as the software is intended to work better with them. Local admin rights does not elevate any additional privileges on the domain, so there is no reason not to give them local admin permanently.
