I have attempted to perform each of the various solutions you have forwarded, but to no avail. I recently did a full "Uninstall" and then reinstalled the program from the CD. The program no longer looks like what I was used to. It is also missing the connections to the custom printing configuration files I had been using.
When I opened a drawing, I was able to perform ANY other task, but when I typed "XREF" & hit Enter, I again got the dreaded "Fatal Error" message & the program closed, with the request to send a message to the manufacturer. I am kind of tired of seeing that message. When I tried to do the suggested change to have the dialog box floating, I received the SAME message when I hit "Accept."
I realize that my 2012 program is no longer supported by the manufacturer. It also seems that the people in the Forum who have responded are now used to the current iterations & not too familiar with a program from a decade ago. I am guessing that a recent upgrade from Windows 11 has caused my problem, because it has worked so well up until this month. Windows 11 has been on my machine for about a year now.
Is my ONLY solution to "Lease" a current version of the LT program so I can continue to do my pro bono drawings as an aid to the local kennel clubs for their dog shows? Living on Social Security does not give me much in the way of spare change to do that with. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
