windows xp patches for older autocad?

(OP)
Was wondering if there are any patches, or updates to run Autocad Architectural Desktop Release 2 on Windows XP? Or if I have to cave in and buy a newer release.

Hi AutoCADforDummiesGuy,

Sorry, I think you may have to bite the bullet on this one...  I have heard of people successfully running on XP but they all seem to hit a wall (no pun intended) at some point - or they strictly do 2D line work.

Did you try running it in compatibility mode? We ran LDD 2.0 for a long time in compatibility mode for Windows ME or 2000 and it worked fine.
