 Topic: Fatal Error 0x0004 exception at 3092ce3eh
Posted: 17.Jan.2012 at 12:19 |
Hi Guys. I'm new to this Forum so not quite sure if I'm in the correct category. Please let me know if I am or not.
I have been using Autocad 2002 for many years and because I'm an 'oldie' , I am reluctant to change to a newer version. I am running the software on Windows 7 Home premium and work from home.
Very recently, I have suddenly received the following message when downloading SOME drawings and also if I have several opened, this message will occur: 'Fatal Error Unhandled Access Validation Reading 0x00004 Exception at 3092ce3eh'. The software shuts down.
I think it may have occured when I tried to download a drawing from a later edition Autocad. I cannot see anything on this forum about that particular Error. I have tried the following:
1. Uninstalled and re-installed ( no change)
2. Restored computer to earlier time (no change)
3. Performed both rootkit and antivirus scans (both revealed no problem)
4. Performed Check Disc (no errors)
5. Not all drawings are affected. Why?
Is there anyone who has come across this before and has an answer?

There is no problem with your software , only that in windows 7 autocad 2002 doesn't run, You must run a new version of autocad 2010 or newer. There is an application on Windows 7 to use software versions running on Windows XP or more ago, but with older versions of autocad does not work, just that you make a partition on your hard drive and upload 2 operating systems of windows.

Thanks for the info. However, I've been running Acad 2002 for over 6 months now in Windows 7 with no problems whatsoever, then suddenly one day, WHAM! Also, I can still see and amend many drawings, albeit one's that have a drawing format. That is weird. Wish I knew what the Fatal Error code was. Perhaps this could give me a clue.

I think it might have been as a result of a Windows update.

Yes, I have to agree, this is entirely possible. Dangerous things, these Windows updates. Nobody ever knows what they are. My particular gripe is that they can cause untold misery in time and effort to try and solve something that is entirely out of our hands, just to try and earn a living wage. Serves me right I suppose for not buying up to date software.

You had the same exact error as the original poster tulip?
Are you using Windows 7 as well?

It has been mentioned previously that a Windows 7 update may have affected some of my drawings (i.e. I get the Error message as stated in the original message) and Autocad shuts down. However, why is it that I can still read some and not others? Does each drawing have a code? How can this be accessed? My ProE software only recognises those drawings that it can see as being able to be opened yet Autocad sees all the drawings with the .dwg suffix. Has anyone seen this type of thing before?

We were speculating about a probable cause. No one said that the problem was 100% caused by a Windows update.
Maybe some of your drawings are corrupt.

Yeah, I realise it was just speculation mainly as there doesn't seem, at this time, to be anything but a Windows update. I'm not sure about the corruption issue although it could be but I don't know how. As I said, with the introduction of a format into the drawing (did this on a Windows XP computer with an older version of the same drawing that I could not open in Windows 7), I can now open those that were not being able to be opened before. 98% of the drawings (I have over 2000) that do not have a drawing format are not openable. ALL of the drawings that do have a format are openable. I seems that the unformatted (I mean a 2D CAD design with a drawing format) require something that the drawing format produces to open it.
