According to Microsoft, you can download software called virtual PC ( by the way this is free).
This is 100% my fault for not doing the proper research. Apparently Auto Cad 2000 is considered as office software, not home software therefore it still will not run on my computer. By this I mean anything other than home use such as checking email, internet browsing, playing cards, etc. Now per HP sessions, the computer I bought is not set up for office applications. Per Microsoft sessions, Windows Home Premium will not run Auto Cad 2000 without complications ( as you mentioned, some things work, some don't ) but by upgrading to Windows Professional, your problems are solved. I am running Windows 7 Premium on my HP computer. Here is what I have found out after several sessions with both Microsoft and Hewlett Packard. I will try to figure out the other problems later, when I have time, and of course I will uninstall the proram from my old computer as soon as I get the new one to work.:>) There are still issues I haven't tried to resolve yet, like some of the commands don't work and are shown as 'unknown', but I am able to start the program and at least do something with it. So, I simply copied all the files in the Autodesk Shared folder into the ACAD2000 folder, where the Acad.exe is, and it worked:>) I also copied the folder XP c:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared to Win7 c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Filesīut found that Acad.exe wouldn't run because it couldn't find the. I tried a few different things, and this is what I think it takes.Ĭopy the XP c:\Program Files\ACAD2000 folder to Win7 c:\Program Files (x86)\ACAD2000Ĭopy the files in XP c:\Windows\System to Win7 c:\Windows\System I did some searching and found a thread about the same issue with Vista, where someone said they had just copied the AutoCAD folder and system files, so I gave it a try. Here's what I know.ĪutoCAD 2000 wouldn't install from the CD, due to some compatibility issues, between the installer and the 64 bit OS. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit installed on it, and finally got around to trying to install AutoCAD 2000 on it.
