#Any virus issues using cad code#
If you see error warning, it usually has error code and finding solution might be easier.ĭon’t rush it. Basically you will see no warning on your screen. Remember, this list is only for AutoCAD hangs on startup. It can be viruses, Windows problem, hardware drivers, Windows settings ( even Internet Explorer settings) and of course AutoCAD problem itself. When AutoCAD failed to start, there are many things that can cause this.

I strongly suggest you to follow this clean installation procedure from this knowledge base. And if it doesn’t work, the last thing you can do is to reinstall the product. It won’t just hang or freeze during startup. In my experience, when AutoCAD installation is corrupt there will be warnings about missing files or wrong registry key. The last thing that you might want to check is AutoCAD installation. If you want to try uninstalling the update, you can open program and features then click view installed updates on the left sidebar. Check if any available on Autodesk support download page.

If this is the issue, Autodesk usually will release a hotfix or update for this issue. This forum thread is similar to my experience.

However, I’ve experienced that my software won’t run after I installed Windows update.
#Any virus issues using cad driver#
Installing Windows update and updating your graphic card driver sometimes can resolve the issue. Windows Update and driversĪutoCAD relies on many prerequisites. If you are concern because you work in secure location and don’t want to allow that process, you can disable InfoCenter as explained in this knowledge base. You need to check your computer security settings if you want to use InfoCenter. When AutoCAD hangs on startup and force close this process will resolve the issue. Some domain security, firewall or anti virus may have conflict with it. It’s a process that require internet connection. However, WSCommCntr1.exe can also cause this problem when you first start AutoCAD. There is a knowledge base that explain it’s because a background process did not end correctly. InfoCenter sometimes can cause problem too. InfoCenter process did not successfully closed in previous session Just delete those files and replace with unaffected LSP from other computer. But this is the first time I see it prevents AutoCAD from starting. It even can send your documents through email client. I’ve seen this kind of virus can mess your command, many things don’t work correctly. There are some suggestions there how you can prevent it from attacking your computer. Read more about VBA macro viruses and LISP based viruses in AutoCAD here. You can imagine how long your computer will take to execute 300 MB routines! So if his LSP file is 300 MB, there must be something evil that cause that. In default installation, those files are only 1 KB in size. acaddoc.lsp will be executed automatically when you create or open a drawing. If you are not familiar with those files, acad.lsp, acad2013.lsp are functions that will be executed automatically when you start an AutoCAD session. All those files are bloated to more than 300 MB! No wonder AutoCAD won’t start. This is the problem that I found on his computer.The virus changed his acad2013.lsp, acaddoc.lsp and acadinfo.lsp. I tried to search on Google and found that it might be caused by several issues. So I did a little investigation to fix it. If there is a popup saying error message, it might be easier to fix. It showed the splash screen but AutoCAD never starts. His AutoCAD 2013 always hangs on startup. Last week I find an issue on my customer’s computer.
