acad 12 and XP

[George2002]

Hi, is there anyway i can get my old copy of autocad 12 running in XP? Each
time I try I get a message: "Divide By Zero or Overflow Error" I haven't
used the program in many years but would like to start working with it
again. Can anyone tell me a way to get it running. I did try the XP
comparability wizard . . . a Merlin it is not! . . . but it was no help at
all.
Thank You, Tim

Howdy, Tim!

I'm still using R12 myself on Win98SE. However, I just got a laptop with
XP Home Version and will be trying to install it -- will get back to you if
it is successful or not.

I've had so much trouble using Pagemaker and other older programs on the XP
so far, that I've decided to wipe the XP off it and install Win2000. So far
I haven't found any programs that will not run on 2000.

Kind of off the subject of your posting...

Please do keep me posted. For somethings XP is great. It is a very stable
system however, it has its drawbacks.
