FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x24509d0

[basepointdesignz]

Hi,

When using AutoCAD 2002 with XP Pro I get a few fatal errors come up when I do random and specific things.. These problems don't happen on the WIndows ME machine we have so I pressume it's an XP Pro problem..

Here's what I get:

1: Firstly, when ever I open a drawing or AutoCAD itself
I get a message box saying something like:

AutoCAD Failed to update the System registry. Please use REGEDIT.

Why is this doing it. This happens on my college computer too..


2: Whenever I do certain and/or random tasks in AutoCAD I get this error:

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x24509d0 Exception at 6543d307h

This happens mostly when I try to change the font on one of the TextStyles..


3: I also get this error when I try to run an AUtoCAD VBA macro that opens a certain Excel workbook:

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x00e0 Exception at 650b7029h

What could be happening? This works fine on my Windows ME computer at work but not on the XP Pro one..

Any ideas or any ideas where I can find out what these errors mean? Is there a website that searches specifically for Fatal Error codes?

Thanks in advance,

Check for any updates for XP for your program.

Sounds like a problem with the programming of Autocad 2002. Specifically it looks like the programmers did not provide error handling routines for an exception condition that is occurring, (assuming this is an XP version of the program). Check for updates to the Autocad program or report the errors to their tech support team.

good luck ...wee
