STILL getting Illegal Operation

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: treysha

Hello,

I have posted this thread at AutoCad forums but no one there seems to bother to reply. I have never failed to get a helpful reply here so I'm trying.

I have been getting an "Illegal Operation" error when I try to start my Autocad2002 application.

I have read through most of the "Illegal Operation" threads in Autocad forums and found that most suggest that we download the patch file to rectify the Norton AV2003 issue. Also, I saw one that taught us to go to BIOS setting and set the parallel port setting to ECP.
Now, I have done BOTH but I'm STILL getting the "Illegal Operation" msg when I try to start Autocad2002. Details will always say that "ACAD caused an invalid page fault in module ...0000:fffffffff...", something like that.
I have tried the 'Repair' option in Autocad2002 installation but it still doesn't work.
AutocadR14 works fine on this machine, though. Its a Win98SE PC. I do have other Win98SE PCs running the same application with no problems whatsoever so I doubt it is an OS issue.

Please advise.

running a scandisk with error correction is the easiest option. next would be to completely uninstall the program, then reinstall it.

Have you tested your RAM?

Let the default tests run at least ten times.
