Impressions and windows 7

I dont know what the problem with windows 7 or the net framework SDK of windows7 but here are some problems i am facing.
I am using impressions 3
Windows7 build 7100 x64 Ultimate......ATI Raedon - HD4850, 2.2GHz core 2 duo, 2GB ram.

Issues:
1) Saving a file as native impression format.
2) Opening a file.
3) Importing an Autocad file.

What happens: Each time i try and do the above the file crashes and doesnt work....goes to the crash screen asking me to send a report to AUTODESK for errors. well i have done that few times already.
I installed impressions in a VISTA x64 ultimate system and worked my way easily without such errors and completed my work, saved the file as native impressions format as well as a pdf for prints later. Basciallly it was the issue of the net framework 3.5 sp1 fault that i dint work earlier on the friends PC. I installed the hotfixes as well as netframework SDK 3.5 SP1 on it and everything worked gr8.
But WINDOW7 is just not budging its way to work....tried reinstalling SDK....tried reinstalling Impressions.....tried to run it as a vista and XP but nothing.

Can AUTODESK please find a fix for this???

One would think, that since i "sent the error report to autodesk" with my email address, i would have received some notification from them that there is a fix. (just like the error report says they will do) And that i would not have to trawl the message boards for an answer.

Does anybody know if the hotfix works on Impression 2 or if there's a different fix for it? I let my subscription expire a while ago, don't have version 3. I did try to download a trial but that won't run either.

Not impressed that the programme suddenly stopped working as soon as I upgraded to Windows 7. Come on Autodesk, get it sorted.

Has the hotfix worked for everyone? impression_r3_win7_hotfix.zip It is not working for me. Does anyone have any other solutions?

@heatherpell:

 

Impression 3 on W7 cannot save and has random crashes. The hotfix patch solves this.

 

Are you having this problem or are you having a different one? (please describe if it's a different one)

 

Greets!

@makovich:

 

I have installed the hotfix & am still having the same problem.

 

I guess the problem we are having is a little different than the one you describe, in that, we cannot completely open a file. Once it appears to be finished loading, the program crashes immediately with no error message. It does pull up a window to send an error report to autodesk.

 

Please let me know if you have any ideas on what is causing this.

 

Thanks!

Heather

You might try uninstalling and reinstalling and then applying the hotfix.

 

If you are really desparate, you could try installing on a WinXP machine if you've got access to one. Win7 installations have been notoriiously buggy.

@heatherpell

 

Do you have access to a machine with a clean install of W7?

I ask this because I heve noticed that sometimes software interacts. For example Revit Architecture 2012 has a rendering engine which crashes if you have installed a Wacom drawing tablet.

I found out when I did a reinstall of everything and Revit worked until I installed Photoshop and the tablet, I googled the problem and found out the tablet driver is the problem (or a bug in Revit, depending on who you ask) and it has not been resolved as far as I know.

 

So, if you could do a clean install of w7 and then install Impression and the hotfix inmediately after (before installing drivers for any special hardware). You could check if it works then. If it does, you will know it is a problem of interaction with a driver or another program.

 

I hope this helps!

 

Max.
