  • I have always run windows 2000 on my xp laptop. I installed autocad 2000 recently onto my windows 7 32 bit computer, without knowing about your converter. I can open the program, but windows says"do you want to allow this to alter your computer?. i click yes, then i can open a file in autocad. but then i get a notice "cant send command to program". sometimes i can proceed in the file. but on one large file, it froze after that notice came. will your converter help my situation?

    You said leave a message with you.
