What are your computer specs? Does this lockup occur while working in one particular drawing or in any drawing? What are you attempting to do when the lockup occurs? Can you make it happen at will or is it random? Are you up-to-date with any/all AutoCAD service packs? Have you made any changes to your hardware or software lately? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Why don't you try to find the full specs for your computer. We'll wait. Until then stop using MagiCad. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

How do you not know the specs to your own computer? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

What does using or not using Explorer (you mean Internet Explorer not Windows Explorer) have to do with the problem? Answer: nothing. Where did you get your copy of AutoCAD and Magicad? Did you download and install all service packs for AutoCAD? Yes or no? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Are you using an onboard graphics chip or a dedicated graphics card? What is the file size of the drawing that keeps locking up? Is it 2D or 3D? Did you run the Overkill, -Purge, and Audit commands on the drawing? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

If you aren't going to answer the remainder of the questions there is no use continuing the conversation. Without complete answers there can be no solution. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Service packs. Use the ABOUT command. When a window appears click on the Product Information button. It should tell you there. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |
