I am trying to load a LISP routine as I usually do, using the "Load/Unload Applications" window and adding it within the "Startup Suite". The LISP will appear to be loaded within the Loaded Applications list, but will not run. In addition, the LISP will automatically vanish from the Loaded Applications list after a few minutes.
This is now true for any other LISP's I am trying to load that I know to work, so this has nothing to do with the new LISP programming. My "Support File" paths are pointing in the right direction. Rebooting the computer doesn't help.
Thoughts?
Are you running multiple concurrent sessions of AutoCAD?
Not sure about which "loaded applications" list you are referring to. LISP cannot be unloaded, but it can be overwritten. There may be other automation on your system which clears out the StartApp contents - possibly for good reasons.
When you pull up the "Load/Unload Applications" window, there is a "Loaded Application" tab that lists the file name and path for each application loaded during a session.
Any new LISP I am trying to load will appear on this list, but will not run. They will also disappear from the list after a few minutes.
As an update to the problem, now other LISP routines that have been running for years have stopped working. I have not changed any settings or modified the LISP's. Rebooting the machine is not helping.

easiest way... lisp programs that you want started on dwg startup you should load via the acaddoc.lsp
Exactly. Do not use or rely on the "startup suite".
