#LOCK UP
David, I noted your response to Joey Williams re Release 10c10a lockups.
Please note the following (which I posted to all).
Has anyone experienced anything like the following? I recently began using
Version 11c2 on early Acer1100 80386's. One machine has 6 meg, the other 2
meg. One has an EGA card, the other a superVGA (using a ADI 4.0 driver).
Both use Multisynch II displays. I use QEMM rather than HIMEM, and am
running under DOS 5.0. I've read all the readme's and followed lots of
discussion of the problems getting ACAD 386 and DOS 5 to work together. I
fixed the B-step problem with a hardware patch from Ironwood Technologies.
For a while I had these systems working. I kept tinkering with the 6 meg
machine trying to optimize things and bring in some other software.
Then out of nowhere I got a locked system while in Autocad. I can reliably
lock the system by entering an arc or circle command, either from the
command line or by any variety of menu or tablet. Once asked for the
radius or diameter all entry devices (keyboard, mouse, tablet…) lock. The
system also locks up when I try to load for editing an existing drawing
containing such entities (or insert a block).
The hard to believe part? This now happens on BOTH systems, yet only one
had been tinkered with.
Want more mystery? I've a third, almost identical, with the same hardware
fix for the B-step problem, system that as of this writing does not
experience these problems!!!
My question – do I have Joey's problem, even with Release 11c2 and my
hardware patch? Can you and Autodesk shed any light on this MAJOR problem?
I'll give up and go back to Rel 10 soon now. Can anyone suggest something
to keep me trying?
