John…. May I assume that you also have a line like "DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS" in your config.sys file? If so, you have created a conflict (changing your EXTended memory into XMS memory) which ACAD in its native form can't deal with. The solution is to run the NEWDX program (found on the B1 Step, DXFIX, NEWDX diskette) on your copy of ACAD.EXE. This bumps the Phar Lap DOS Extender up to Rev 2.6… which is compatible with XMS memory. Scooter
