#AutoCAD + DOS 5 = REBOOT
3 messages in this thread
Mike,
We have a several labs running AutoCAD, and one of them is an AST 386/33Mhz
lab. Out of the seventeen computers in the room, two of them occasionally
'Hang' when exiting AutoCAD R11/386C2. Our machines use ATI VGA Wonder
cards as well.

Thanx for the info.
The common thread between these problems seems to be AutoCAD R11386c2,
MS-DOS 5.0 and ATI VGA Wonder cards. Sounds like it may be a problem with
the bios memory location or something. I'll look into these problems
further and let you guys know what I find.

Mike,
Actually, the link to DOS 5 may not be there. I am again experiencing the
same reboot problem on another workstation that is running DOS 4.01. Same
kind of thing, computer either locks up on exit from AutoCAD or reboots.
After a couple of re-installs and lots of tweeking, i managed to get it to
work -most- of the time, but it still reboots on exit on occasion.
I now have REL 11 installed on 6 computers (22 to go) and the reboot
problem manifests itself on about every second computer. Any progress on
what the problem might be? I am open to any suggestions.
