If someone could answer my question, I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the situation. I loaded Autocad R.12 on my P5-120, but when I try to run the program I get the following msgs: "VASE.dcl": Can't open file Error loading dialogue control file. **ERROR** No display driver is installed at the interrupt vector 07A ** Please correct display adapter/configuration inconsistency. FATAL ERROR: Can't start display driver. Apparently, I don't have the correct display driver installed. Can anyone tell what the proper driver is and where I can get it? Also, what is the dialogue control file, i.e., it function? Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

Hi Charles, Somehow you have ended up in the multimedia forum rather than the AutoCAD forum. If however, you GO ACAD, then I'm certain that someone will be able to give you a hand. 🙂 As for R12 and the display driver, you need to launch AutoCAD with the the command ACAD -R and then reconfigure for an ADI 4.2 display driver. Start with a basic VGA driver. You cna change that later. As for the DCL file that wasn't found, I suspect that you need to launch AutoCAD (once your video is configured) with the ACAD batch file. This file should set the proper environment variables so that all of the AutoCAD support files are found. Hope that helps. Sincerely, Tom
