seem to have the same problem. was that XP mode running as a virtual PC in Win 7 Professional, ultimate or enterprise ?
XP mode is not included in Win 7 Home Premium. or were you running the program compatibiity utility ?
thanks
PRIOR TO PURCHASING A NEW LAPTOP I RESEARCHED THE COMPATABILITY OF WINDOWS 7 AND AUTOCAD LT 2002. I UPGRADED THE OS TO WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL AND THEN ADDED VIRTUAL XP.
AFTER INSTALLING AUTOCAD LT 2002, I ENCOUNTERED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:
1 - CURSOR HOVERS OVER CROSSHAIRS
2- IMPOSSIBLE TO INSERT BLOCKS - BLOCK, CURSOR AND CROSSHAIRS FLOAT WITH JERKING MOTIONS OVER THE ENTIRE SCREEN. BLOCK WILL NOT LAND WHERE I TRY TO POINT FOR LOCATION.
3 - OSNAPS DO NOT CLICK AS SET
4 - THE PROGRAM IS EXTREMELY SLOW.
NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIND A SOLUTION HAVE RESULTED IN MORE CONFUSION. ATTACHED IS THE MOST DIRECT APPROACH BUT WITH A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORKINGS OF THE OS I'VE BEEN HESITANT TO TRY ANYTHING MORE THAN WORKING ON MY 7 YEAR OLD DESKTOP AND TURNING OFF THE NEW LAPTOP.
PERHAPS SOMEONE MORE KNOWLEDGABLE IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY COULD REVIEW THIS DOCUMENT AND REPLY.
I MUST SAY THAT IN REVIEW FORUMS ON THE ISSUE I'M NOT ALONE IN WANTING TO USE AN OLDER PROGRAM. I MUST VOICE MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM THE SOFTWARE MANUFACTURERS FOR THESE OLDER PROGRAMS. I PREFER DOS COMMANDS TO GENERATE DRAWINGS. IN GENERATING ONLY 2D FILES THE PROGRAM I HAVE IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. I USE THE NEWER PROGRAMS IN OTHER OFFICES AND I STILL PREFER THE OLDER VERSIONS.
Try searching these forums, there are many tips from users like yourself. Try them all, there is no magic bullet solution.
