Hi!I'm new on this forum, i don't know if i post on the good section.I just get the pc of my boss and his AutoCAD crashes at startup. He tried to force open a file after he did no longer open AutoCAD. (AutoCAD 2010 64bit on Windows 7)When software start, it loads skin, taskbar, and it crashes... a message appears in the autocad dialog:, Error: Exception occurred: 0xC00000FD (Stack Overflow) , Warning: unwind skipped on unknown exceptionI tried to run as admin, repair, reinstalled, I check config of the computer, update, virus, all i can check. I download a hotfix on the Autodesk site called "startup error hotfix 64bit" but it changes nothing.Has someone an idea? thanks

I think i understand (after researching on the net), there is an execution stack that combines tasks at c++ software startup and when my boss tried to force open his file, there was a "stack overflow" too much data accumulated spawned the stack overflow. So to fix it, i must clean the execution stack... but what is this stack?

It is pretty much understandable now, and I'm also interested what the stack is.
I'm not familiar with any of these technical difficulties.

From Wikipedia:"In software, a stack overflow occurs when too much memory is used on the call stack. The call stack contains a limited amount of memory, often determined at the start of the program. "How much RAM is installed?Do you let Windows manage virtual memory?What is the capacity of your hard drive?  How much free space is available?
