ADT 2007 many Fatal Errors

[Peter M. Gruhn]

I was in an office earlier this week. They are running ADT2007 and experiencing (I saw, it happened to me) frequent shut downs by ADT. I'm at a loss as to where to begin looking.

 

Three machines in regular use.

Similar set ups, I think.

No known "well Bob's does it less".

They are using walls and windows etc. (AEC Objects?)

They are not making intentional use of 3d, not even switching to a SE view.

 

Say their previous install (ADT2002) was working nicely.

 

I'd appreciate any clues as to where to poke at the problem.

> Which OS

 

I feel like schmuck for not including that in original post. Hmm.. I noticed Aero and display properties was "funny" and they had talked about a recent upgrade/something. I'm going to guess Vista.

 

> vista because vista no longer supports open GL Display

 

Ah hah. And 2007 is probably too old to make use DX.

 

> there were some fixes in the autocad website

 

Will look.

 

> but some of these problems keep appearing

 

Hooray!

 

> Downgrade to XP

 

Probalby not an option. Though if it is, I don't think I'll be in charge!

 

> or run in XP Mode (64 Bits Only)

 

Not sure which thing is doing which. ADT or Vista in XP mode? ADT or XP must be 64 bit install?

 

> Alternate fix: turn off hardware acceleration, and set all the 3d Config settings off and to low

 

Could work, as they are using it strictly 2d.

 

> Yes the wall clean up is a mess

 

That's one of the questions they were hoping I could answer. Thanks for the tip.

 

> Finally, there are serious issues with performance due to a multiple scale drawings, fix: delete all non used scales,

 

Another nice one. Ta.

 

ADT isn't really in my experience zone, I just wing it better than a lot of people.

 

Thanks again.
