Your CUI or most probably the associated MNL file is improperly formatted - see the related tip:

This is not a specific fix - just a description what probably causes the problem. You have to find the damaged file (a CUI, LSP, MNL) and the character(s) which cause the problem. Or just replace the files from a backup or from a repair installation.

What kind of version is AutoCAD and what is your OS (32 & 64 bit)
Try to change your RAM.

My company just buy an new computer, and install a fresh copy of licensed Autocad 2009, the software works very fine with no error at first time. But the same error occurs when one of my draftsman open the file i mention before. I think Formatting or restoring the system in not remedy of the problem. I'm pretty sure that this error came from the drawing file. Now my question is how this could happen. Ive audit, purge and recover this drawing but same error problem happen. What is in this drawing that makes the error. Could anybody solve this error. This drawing file also infect other autocad files when opening in the same workstation or PC.

Hope anyone can solve this error,

I'am sure this error will not only infect our company PC but maybe it will also infect other PC, if anyone to investigate this file, I can send this to your email.

Joseph
