I recommend disabling Communications Center completely - makes a world of
difference in performance.

You can do this by disabling it in the Registry. I use the following .REG files
which work on 32-bit XP/Vista and 64-bit Vista:

===========================================

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;; For 32-bit XP and Vista
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6004:409\CadManagerControl\CommunicationCenter]
@=""
"EnableCommunicationCenter"=dword:00000000
"MaintenancePatchNotificationOption"=dword:00000000
"LocalPatchListLocation"=""
"EnableNonPatchNotifications"=dword:00000000
"DataPollingURL"="http://webservices.autodesk.com/CommCntrLinkCollectionRequest"
"PreviewMode"=dword:00000000
"EnableSerialNumberPassing"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6004:409\Applications\InfoCenterAcConn]
"LOADCTRLS"=dword:00000000
"LOADER"="C:\\Program Files\\AutoCAD Architecture 2008\\AcInfoCenterConn.DLL"
"DESCRIPTION"="AutoCAD InfoCenterAcConn addin"
"MANAGED"=dword:00000001

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6004:409\Applications\WSCommCntrAcCon]

===========================================

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;; for x64-bit Vista

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6004:409\CadManagerControl\CommunicationCenter]
@=""
"EnableCommunicationCenter"=dword:00000000

Thanks, I will give it a try.
We don't use Communications Center anyway.

may-be problem is not about wscommcntr1.
Looks like fatal errors is not related to this. They are not listed in in Event Viewer.
I got some printscreen of them.

Plus we got many errors on different computers lately. Some are about memory, some are about licences. may-be it is because of russian text in projects?

Warning!
On computer where i have applied these entries i fond problem. When using "Edit > Paste special > Autocad entries" to import excel table, the russian text characters become corrupted.
After restoring previous registry values all works fine again.
