I've used AutoCAD since version 2.52, and with Windowblinds for almost 2 years now (Versions 2000i, 2004 & 2005) I can't remember a single instance where I could attribute a crash in AutoCAD to Windowblinds. If you can feed me a little more info on what the circumstances were at the time I'll try to help. Which version do you have ? the free version or full version? You should have an error log and stack dump from the crash. It might help to know what's listed in the log. It's usually located in the same directory as the file you were working on at the time.

Yeah, no problems here either... Where you doing something in AutoCAD that set it off???

I found a solution to my problem. in the new windowblinds you can schedule certian programs not to load the skin so i picked autocad not to load it and it worked fine after that. it was some dump error i think. I am using full version of winblinds also. thanks.

Just seems wierd because I never hasd a problem with AutoCad.

You sure it wasn't one or 3 pitiular skins causing a problem?

Also, I find when skins don't work that is you convert them to the UIS1 format, they work better on some of those hard to reach programs.

Import the skin to the UIS1 format and then set the skin to work with AutoCAD.
