How to install AutoCAD 2007 on Windows 7?

I recently bought a new system to upgrade to 64-bit with Windows 7 (home edition).  I would like to install an AutoCAD program on the new computer. Preference of AutoCAD 2007 ((j'ai les versions R14 et 2007))

I do not own or operate a business, and my use of AutoCAD does not generate income, so it is not profitable to run out and buy a new copy of AutoCAD, whenever it is updated (GETS expensive).  Running out and purchase Autodesk - AutoCAD 2010 is therefore not an option.

So what can I do to circulate and operate one of these two versions of AutoCAD on this new system?  ((I really need to do market.)) < pulls="" hair=""> > I thought conversion on Windows 7 XP would be GREAT... but NOW I'm starting to regret!

Hello phnx428,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

The site of AutoCad:
Both 32-bit and 64-bit AutoCAD® and AutoCAD LT® 2010 2010 are compatible and supported on Microsoft Windows® 7.

Autodesk does not officially support the versions of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2009 and older on Windows 7. If you choose to run older versions of AutoCAD on the Windows 7 operating system, you can opt to use the Windows compatibility mode.

I would try to install in Compatibility Mode for XP or Vista. If you have an older application for Windows XP or Vista, which does not work in Windows 7, you can make it work properly by running the program in compatibility mode.

1. to start, find the application or the shortcut which is the cause of the problem, and then right-click on it and select Properties.
2. then, select compatibility in the menu tabs at the top of the properties page:
3. now check the box run this program in compatibility mode "dethrone" and select the operating system you want to emulate. For most applications, this will be Windows XP SP2. Once you are finished, click OK.
4. When you then run the application, it must run under compatibility using the OS mode you have selected. If it runs properly, try another selection of OS in step 3, and then try again.

I hope that this will help solve your problem. If this isn't the case, you will need to communicate with AutoCad to see if there is no work around.

Sincerely,
