 Topic: AutoCAD crashing - please help
Posted: 20.Apr.2013 at 19:40 |
Hello everyone! I'm a student, so I downloaded the student AutoCAD version from the Autodesk website. It was working fine,but now it is crashing immediately when I start the program. What shall I do? I need to fix this problem...I have projects to submit  I'm pretty sure my computer has enough graphics card and RAM.

I tried pressing "esc" repeatedly. It worked for a few seconds and then crashed.

Are you starting it from the Start menu or Autocad icon, versus clicking on a file icon?
You could try reinstalling it.

I'd try the REPAIR option first. It can be found in your Windows Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs as an option for uninstalling/reinstalling.
Post the specs for your computer too.

I tried repairing and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I've reset the settings to default and it fortunately started working. I appreciate your reply, thank you!

I usually click on the desktop icon to start the program, but what's the difference between those three options?

If you are using windows 8 as operating system, the autodesk application might crash repeatedly. Still the autodesk versions are not ready for windows 8. Try some service packs. Probably shifting to windows 7 is best option for now.

Windows 8 wasn't even mentioned.
Service packs are usually cumulative so for AutoCAD 2013 only S.P. 2 would be required.

AutoCAD 2013 is certified to run under three versions of Windows 8. If you check the AutoDesk support webpage where the service packs are available you will see this mentioned.
