AutoCAD 2016 won't launch

Anonymous — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 13:46:07 GMT

Hi! I'm having a problem whit launching AutoCAD 2016 for a first time after installation. Everytime I tap the icon the program starts to launch itself but after about 30sec same error occurs. I've already tried to uninstall and reinstall the program for several times but nothing seems to work. My laptop is brand-new and running Windows 7 professional so it shouldn't be a problem..

Was your virus protection off while installing?

Yes I think it was turned off while downloading and installing but I'm not quite sure. Does it matter? If it was on can I just do reinstall or should I also download it again? Btw. I'm using MacAfee LiveSafe - Internet security, if it helps

You'll find that when folks on these forums ask you a question, it's for a reason. See the link in Dean's post.

So I followed your tips and uninstalled both AutoCad and McAfee. I downloaded and installed AutoCAD again and before that I also made sure that there was no any other program running. After installing AutoCAD and rebooting the computer when I launched the AutoCAD everything seems to be fine for about 30sec but then error pops up. But this time whit a slightly different code...

I got solved second problem by my own. Cause of the error was my AMD graphic card and its driver. Update manager told that all the drivers should be up to date but when I checked manually from amd.com I found new driver and installed it. After that AutoCAD was launced succesfully. Thanks for your help anyway!
