What is the exact nature of the problem?  Does anything come up on screen?  Does it start then crash?  Do you see any type of error message?

More details required.

I see this is going to take some time.

Are you opening an existing drawing or trying to start a new drawing when the error occurs?

So you are saying it doesn't matter what you do.  OK then, you have a problem.  Your options are...

1. Try a search of the AutoDesk website for the specific error message you are seeing.  Maybe there is a fix.  Perhaps it is a .NET problem.  I don't know.

Should you get no results then it is on to option....

2. Do a REPAIR of the installation.  You'll have to do this through the Windows Control Panel and the Add/Remove Programs feature (or whatever it is called in Win8).

3. If that fails then move on to a REINSTALL. 

4. If that fails then you will have to do a complete UNINSTALL / REINSTALL.  AutoDesk has very specific guidelines for this procedure that are posted on their website.  Follow them to the letter to set your computer up for what is termed a "clean" install.

Unfortunately you are running Windows 8 and I have no experience with that OS so you are basically on your own unless you seek help through the AutoDesk Discussion Groups for AutoCAD 2014.

Got all that?

We have AutoCAD 2013 and one of my drafters did the windows 8.1 update and now we are having problems also. It acts like it is going to open and then it just vanishes. 
PLEASE HELP.....

What I forgot to add was that I have tried repairing AutoCAD and re-installing it a few times. I also verified that the service pack 2 is installed.

At the first sign of a problem with your OS you should have rolled back the system via a Restore point that predated the 8.1 update.

When you did uninstall/reinstall AutoCAD did you explicitly follow AutoDesk's recommended procedure?

Did you also temporarily disable both your anti-virus program and the UAC?

Sometimes we are in such a hurry we overlook important steps that just come back to haunt us later.
