FATAL ERROR AutoCAD 2014 LT on Start-up

[TomLundeen]

Hello,

I'm running AutoCAD 2014 LT on a fairly new computer with Windows 8 and yesterday it started giving me an error message everytime I try to start it up. The message reads:

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at 5610694bh

I tried a few different things to fix it (ie: ran the latest service pack, uninstalled then reinstalled AutoCAD) and haven't had any luck so far. I've also submitted a few error reports and sent a support request to Autodesk, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

Any help would be appreciated, I need to get my AutoCAD running as I'm falling behind on drafting work. Thanks in advance.

Hello

Welcome to the Autodesk/AutoCAD Forums !

Q1) You are using Win 8.0 OR Win 8.1 ?

Q2) Is it a 32 bits OR a 64 bits version ?

- You have installed the SP 1 for 2015 and you have the same problem ...

Q3) Your 2015 run without any problem during how much time about ?

Q4) Windows Automatic Update is ON ?

You can look at this :

And maybe here :

But I think it is not your problem !?

Oh my goodness the solution related to the LAN settings worked! Once I unchecked "Automatically detect settings" AutoCAD opened up with no issues, thank you Pat!

Hard to believe one litte checkmark could cause me so much grief! I had found your other link and already attempted most of the proposed solutions.

For your future refernce:

Q1) Windows 8

Q2) 64 bits

- Service pack for 2014 version, as that is the one I am running.

Q3) FATAL ERROR would show up during startup, program didnt even have a chance to finish loading.

Q4) We currently have Windows automatic updates turned on.

Thansk again!

Tom
