Startup variable not correct

FeeopEngr — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 18:00:47 GMT

Note for Autodesk - Please move this post to the English Autocad forum as all I have available (from the select location dropdown) are the German & Spanish boards (You should get that fixed). Even the show all option does not work if it's suppose to show the English as well. Now to the issue at hand. Win7 64, AC Lt 2017 So I used to havethe Startup variable set to 3 and on startup, I would get the proper startup screen (with the tutorials, etc). However that doesn't work anymore. Now i get the following from each setting: 0 = Default template 1 = Startup dialog box 2 = Blank screen 3 = Default template Any thoughts. Just to make matters worse, when I try to use help, I get the help window with a screenshot of my cad display(but only what exactly behind the window) See attached (I moved the window to show what is captures) Thanks

If you cannot see all of the available forums make sure you are not blocking scripts from Lithium.com, Autodesk.com or Addthis.com ( s7.addthis.com) they are need for all features to work.

When you say start up variable what command are you using?

also have you considered resetting to default?

Hi @FeeopEngr, I was wondering if you followed @TheCADnoob suggestion, if so what happened.
