Program closes out unexpectedly

[Lipko]

As soon as I leave my machine for a few short minutes and its at idle, the program closes out automatically with no error messages. I am working with Win 2000 Service pack 3 has been installed, I also have Service Pack 1 on LT.

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

By any chance, would the timeline coincide with your SAVETIME setting?
I have seen AutoSAVE crash a session when it kicks in sometimes on some
machines.

Then your machine is going into a screensaver, or snooze mode, at the same
time.
Or, your server is detecting no action on your PC and trying to shut it down
(or log you out).

LT on it's own, left alone, stays up as long as Windows does not crash
(cannot tell you how many people I have seen just get up and go home end of
the day in mid-command...). Your issue is your system, or network, not LT,
so we need to figure out what that is.

I'm not sure I fully agree, Dean. I haven't seen exactly the problem
noted here, but I've had more than one day when LT2002 would shut down
in mid-command and dump all changes, usually multiple times. This is
with me at the computer, not with leaving the system unattended. No
screensaver here, and no snooze mode. My file server connection never
times out. The files show no signs of damage, although I can't
guarantee that there isn't something unusual about the files -- my
clients use LT98, LT200x, R14, R200x, ADT, LDT, Archicad, Datacad, and
who knows what else. Full reboots don't seem to help. I haven't been
able to link the shut-downs to a particular client or originating
program, just to the projects with the shortest deadlines. I'm not
convinced that it isn't a problem in LT.

Shut-downs when you are using the program are one thing, having the software
sitting idle and have it go away is another.
I experience the first on occasion too, LTv1 through LT2002, the second I
never have (with kids in the house, I walk away from my computer a lot too).
And I am on my fifth computer since v1, and have installed, and support,
enough AutoCAD and LT seats to have seen only the symptoms I describe in my
reply.

But again, I am only one man, seeing only one corner of the world that is
Autodesk, so being wrong is probably given. Sometimes.

It looks like I am not the only one with continual crashes. We have four
seats that do much the same. It sounds like you may be another one. See my
previous thread "Program Crashes".

Don't see your other post. If this is a Kernel32.DLL type crash, it's a
Windows issue: go to the Knowledge Base link at http://support.microsoft.com
and read up on the 150+ posts of just about every other program, including
many Microsoft products, that have it. No fix. I do not get a lot of those
anymore since reformatting my HD and only installing WIn2000 generation
hardware and drivers on my PC, and no shareware or games.
