#ACAD 2.62/ DOS5.0
3 messages in this thread
I have not used my version of ACAD 2.62 for many months (sorry!) During
this time I installed MS DOS 5.0.
Now I am trying ACAD and it will not run at all!
Sorry if I have missed ump-teen trillion notices about this?
Any advise here?
Thanks
You are in the wrong forum! Last summer, the old ADESK Forum split into three:
ACAD, which deals with AutoCAD stuff, ASOFT (this forum), which deals with
Autodesk's multimedia (e.g., 3D Studio and Animator Pro) and scientific
(e.g. CA Labs and Chaos) software, and SKETCH, which is the forum for Auto-
desk's retail products (e.g., Generic CAD and Autosketch).
You should repost your message in the AutoCAD forum — just GO ACAD from a
forum ! prompt.
I believe that 2.62 is incompatible with HIMEM.SYS, but you should check
over there for sure.

Chris,
As Dave has told you (and the opening menu has shown you), this is the
Autodesk mulit-media products forum. However, the reason you are having
problems is that both Acad 2.62 and DOS are trying to use the first 64k of
extended memory. (you are loading DOS high aren't you.) 2.62 is the only
version to use this particular area of memory so the only solution is to
load DOS low. (remove the command DOS=HIGH from the config.sys.)
