AutoCAD 2012 64bit the ribbon menu all white?

Anonymous — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 06:51:25 GMT

As you can see here. I used Acad 2012 64bit on Win10 64 bit.

In the red, all the button go white.

In the blue, the file name go white.

How can I fix it?

Pls help.

Thanks.

Hi,

AutoCAD 2012 was introduced long time before Windows 10 came to live, so it is not a suggested environment (>>>click for system requirements AutoCAD 2012<<<).

>> In the red, all the button go white.

You might try to disable hardware acceleration (command _3DCONFIG ==> manual tune)

In Windows 7 there were similar cases which then need to remove AERO, but I don't think that changing any Windows display theme settings would do the same now.

For such an old AutoCAD I would use a virtual system (like Oracle VirtualBox or VmWare Player) and install Windows 7 in that system.

If the free tips on running old software on unsupported Windows versions here do not work, these folks also sell you a fix to help make it work https://www.longbowsoftware.com
