AutoCAD and WindowBlinds

from WinCustomize Forums
I've been all over the place to try and find out what is wrong here. For some reason or another, the version of AutoCAD that I have, v 2000i, won't work with WindowBlinds. When WindowBlinds is running, I cannot run AutoCAD for more then, maybe, 30 seconds or so before it shuts down with a memory sharing violation. I can run AutoCAD with StyleXP at work (which I want to get rid of, after buying WindowBlinds for my personal PC), so I know that it is a WindowBlinds specific problem, I just don't know where it is, or how to fix this issue.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ACAD 2000 [and earlier] has worked for me with WB loaded...

Probably depends on the skin being used...

I have AutoCad 14 and its fine.

I am the type to say uninstall and reinstall might be something to do for CAD.

If nothing works, exclude it (although before that I would try using the 'set skin to program' feature and use a UIS1 skin because it may work better with that type of skin)

Never used AutoCAD but I kow of one program that does that too. It's called Avery Designer Pro, it's a software included on a CD when I buy Avery CD labels. Anyhow, it completely refuses to open (it opens for a split second then closes down) when WB is loaded. Even excluding it and therefore having it unskinned doesn't solve the issue. I have to completely unload Windowblinds then open the program.  So far, it's the only program I've experienced that does that.  But there might be a few more.

memory sharing violation


This sounds like an issue between Windowblinds and StyleXP, not AutoCad and windowblinds.
