Error Message when opening a drawing

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hey everyone (again),

Im having another unpleasant experience at the moment when i open DWG files for AutoCAD. I double click on them to open them through AutoCAD 2017 and i get a windows error saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program." But AutoCAD still opens up, it just doesnt open up the DWG, it goes straight to the main menu 'thingy' where i can see my recent documents and etc. i usually have to double click on the DWG somewhere between 3-7 times for it to produce my drawing and stop sending errors.

If anyone could also help me with this, that would be awesome.
Thanks much!

@Anonymous hello, don't open your autocad file from window explorer, open your autocad program and then open your file and see if the isuue still occur. thanks

@dmfrazier If you read my error, you would see it is different. And i have googled and etc and haven't found one that is identical with my error. That is why i started this topic in the first place...
