a drawing opens in one PC but not in the other

a drawing opens in one PC but not in the other

a drawing opens in one PC but not in the other

(OP)
The PCs are of about same capacities and both running same windows and autocad version.

The drawing was created in the same autocad version but on a different machine running windows 2000 Professional(NT)

I mean I have a windows NT machine(512MB Ram) and two Windows 98 machines(one 256MB the other 128MB and all three machines running same autocad version.

One of the Windows 98 desktop(one with 256MB Ram) refuses to open the file, exits from autocad after warning "fatal violation error at this and that adress". This particular machine reports this error when you try to recover the file too. The other two machines show zero errors on auditing or recovering.

The drawing does contain many blocks and layers but was purged.

What could be the problem?

RE: a drawing opens in one PC but not in the other

We had the same problem with AutoCad Rev 13.  I could never figure out why this would happen.  We finally started saving back to version 12 in the file menu and we had no problems after that. I think that it had something to do with the initial setup settings.
