Unable to run Autocad R14 with Vista

"Autocad R14" works well with Windows XP on my old desktop computer - but does not run on Windows Vista on my new laptop Dell 1545 Inspron.

"MEM_BAD_POINTER" error message is received. When the error message is cancelled, the recursively readmitted «SmartHeap error handler» message

Hi Kenny,

Thanks for posting on the forums.

You can try to run it in compatibility mode and see if you can make it work, otherwise you may have to upgrade to a newer version.

Make your old programs working again
