How to get inventor 5.3 running under windows xp ?

I have installed inventor 5.3 with operating system windows xp. Everything goes ok, but when I try to open inventor, the system completely crashes. He automatically reboots, and errors are found then on the disk. Which weren';t there before. Can anybody help me how I can solve this problem??

thnx Marco

Tough to sort out something like this.



Uninstall R5.3 (consider also uninstalling Acad & MDT if installed)

Reboot and make sure the IV directory is deleted under Program Files/Autodesk.

Remove IV entries in your Windows registry. If you uninstalled all Autodesk products then you can delete all Autodesk registry entires.

Make sure XP is up-to-date with all patches.

What video card are you running? Make sure your video card driver is certified for R5.3. If you can't get a certified driver make sure you're running the latest driver for your video card.

Run Scandisk on your hard drive and then run the defrag utility.

Reboot and reinstall IV.

Apply SP's.



Good luck.
