This is not my field, but when I upgraded to XP
I was warned that AutoCAD needs the Pro version.
I have AutoCAD R13 and AutoCAD 2002 running on
XP Pro with no problems....

Have you contacted Autodesk support?

I had AutoCad 2000 and now 2004 on XP Home and never had any problems. Check their website knowledge base for possible answers for this.

Go to the Setup.exe (of Autocad 2000) file
Right click on it and go to Properties
Then click the Compatibility tab and where it says "compatibility mode" just click in the box under it and turn it to Windows 2000
Click OK
Run AutoCAD Setup.exe
