Problems after Windows Disk Cleanup

mail — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 13:11:16 GMT

My disk space was running a little low so I thought it would be a good idea to run Disk Cleanup to get rid of temporary files etc. I gained close to 20GB which was good but ACE2014 has started misbehaving badly.

I'm getting lots of "error: malformed list on input" errors when I start the software:

My list of previous projects in Project Manager has gone missing. Also, when I open a drawing, I get an error:

When I try to copy a project, it goes through all the various steps but at the end gives me "error: malformed list on input" and doesn't copy the project. Basic AutoCAD functionality seems to be working okay. I'm guessing I need to reinstall ACE2014 unless someone knows of a quicker fix?

In the event of reinstalling, will the symbols and drawing frames that I've created be safe or do I need to backup everything?

I reinstalled and everything now appears to be working correctly again. I backed up everything I'd created beforehand to make sure it stayed safe.

this looks like the LastProj.fil is corrupt. it gives : error: malformed list on input and most of the acad-e commando's don't work anymore even next and previous sheet if you : close autocad erase it from your user directory start autocad add the projects again
