Hi all,
I have had Autocad LT 2014 installed and working on my laptop for over a year. Survived through a Windows 8 - 8.1 upgrade no problems. Installed Autocad service pack 1 a few days ago and the application no longer starts. I get a flicker of the splash screen and then straight to the "Autocad has stopped woking" Windows dialog followed by the submit a crash report. I have trawled through the forums removed C++ redistributables, uninstalled and reinstalled the application with and without the SP. Tried trial versions, removed registry entries. Eventvwr reprts an error with AdApplicationFrame.dll. I have tried compatability mode, run as administrator (both application and reinstallation). Rebooted and updated everything I can think of... even removed a few things that looked at me sideways.
I have worked through all the steps in the pages around here and be stuffed if I am going to rebuild my computer from the ground up because a $2k piece of software can't get all its ducks in a row and can't even be bothered to report a useful error report.
I am running an Acer Aspire M with GT640M (dual with Intel graphics), and yes not certified, but again worked for a year until the SP1 attempted install ruined everything.
Any help, guidance or condolances appreciated.
