When I try to load a drawing in AutoCAD 2000 on my PC with Vista, I get the following error message: "FATAL ERROR unhandled e06d7363h exception at 76e0b09eh". I loaded ACAD 2000 from the original disk; it is not a bootleg copy. What gives??????

What Gives is Vista...
I have tried Vista and it is not compatable with most of my software. So I have reinstalled Windows XP where I neet it.
 
Vista also has hardware compatabilty issues.
 
As you guessed I don't like Vista....

The main reason is that AutoCAD 2000 is not compatible with Windows Vista - for Vista you'd need AutoCAD 2008 (or 2007sp2). BTW, AutoCAD 2000 is neither compatible with Windows XP....

I am having the exact same problem + error code, except I've been running CAD2000 on Vista with no problems for several months!  Today it suddenly decided not to be compatible.  If any one has a solution, please let us know!
