Hello,

When i start Autocad 2014 student version i get the splash screen and after that the Autocad screen opens for half a second.

I don't get any error message or something.

I have te problem since i updated to windows 8.1.

the following log i get with this problem:

Hi There .

First of all Welcome to the community.

Windows 8.1 is not yet compatible with Autodesk products. Best place to start looking for a solution is http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=labels&q=WIndows+8.1

In one of these posts the guy said he updated his graphics drivers and everything worked fine.
