Autocad 2010 Issue – Unable to load profile file for new non-admin/admin windows users.

Simon — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:50:12 +0000

A recent issue has come to light :

When trying to launch AutoCAD 2010 as a non-admin user or any other new user whose windows profile was created after AutoCad installation you may get the following errors/warnings:

- Unable to load profile file. Some profile information saved in last session may not be restored.
or/and
- Customization file load failed. File not found: acad
or/and
- Font not found: simplex, Specify Font for FONTALT
or/and
- Missing workspace ribbons

As discussed here – http://discussion.autodesk.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=6224260

I can confirm the following fix (as provided by Greg.Toews) works.

If the user’s registry profile is corrupt for some reason you can also just delete it and then start AutoCAD. AutoCAD will then create a default profile from scratch. (HKCU\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Rnn.n\ACAD-nnnn:nnn)

SolidWorks 2009 / IE8 fix.

Simon — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:22:21 +0000

SolidWorks have recently issued a patch (V2009 SP4.1) to fix the major issues encountered by SolidWorks 2009 (especially X64 edition) and Internet Explorer 8 installed on the same workstation.

So far, we’ve found no issues with the service pack and IE8 runs fine.

I’ll provide more feedback as and when if things change.
