I just purchased a new computer with windows 7, made the migration with the installed windows autotransfer, tried to launch autocad 2006 & a window pops up "cannnot launch autocad, missing ac1st16.dll driver". I looked for the driver and it's installed under program files\common files\autodesk shared. any suggestions?

From the tips in this forum. Tip 7066.
 
"Windows 7 is supported in AutoCAD 2010 (and 2011 and higher) and Inventor 2010 (and 2011 and higher). If you want to install and run older versions of AutoCAD, LT, or Inventor (2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, R11...) in Win7, you can use the virtualized "XP Mode" available for Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise (both 32-bit and 64-bit).

To use the Windows XP Mode you will need a CPU hardware support. You can detect the HW virtualization support in your processor with the utility http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163321" rel="nofollow - havdetectiontool.exe . The Windows XP Mode add-on (application) can be downloaded from the http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx" rel="nofollow - Microsoft web . Then you can install the tool through Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode."
