I'm having trouble with Autocad 11 and an original IBM PS/2 Mod 80. All
the indications from the installation manual show that I have the B-step
80386 with errata 21 problem. I've installed FIX386 from Ironwood. I still
have the problem of machine locking up at the second point of a 3 point
arc, which I understand to be the errata 17 problem. I've downloaded
errata17.exp and have used a simple 2-line ACAD.LSP (xload "errata17"),
(xunload "errata17"). When starting a new drawing, I get the message
"Scanning ACAD.EXE for Errata 17 pages and locking…" followed by another
message "Unable to open ACAD.EXE.loaded" This doesn't look promising, and
certainly doesn't fix my 3 point arc problem. Any clues? Errata17.exp is in
the ACAD11 directory with ACAD.EXE, which is started from that directory. I
would appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!
The first thing you should do is to NOT (xunload "errata17"), and the
second, is to load it from ACAD.ADS, rather than ACAD.LSP, by placing, or
adding the line "errata17" to an ASCII file called ACAD.ADS.
