Troubleshooting

If your installed AutoCAD is hanging on startup then read this post first AutoCAD Freezes on startup (AutoCAD visible but the menus don’t appear)
if your AutoCAD hangs on startup (stuck at the “Checking License…” message, try installing the 32bit version of AutoCAD 2010 on 64bit Windows – we’ve actually found the 32bit AutoCAD 2010 running on 64bit Windows is much more stable and actually faster than the 64bit version of AutoCAD 2010.
If your AutoCAD crashes while interacting with the Ribbon click here
If you are unable to activate your product, or the activation process crashes:
1. Try uninstalling the July 2014 Microsoft security update
2. Try downgrading your Internet Explorer (IE) from version 11 to version 10 by following the instructions detailed here
If you have crashing problems using the File->Open or File->Save dialogs inside of AutoCAD please read this blog entry on the File->Open or File->Save Crash in AutoCAD

I'm about to purchase your converter to make a previously uninstalled CD version of AutoCAD LT 10 with latest version of Win10Pro on a new PC with no other AutoDesk products installed except for their TrueView viewer/converter.

Any predictions about success, things to watch out for ???

Thanks!!!
