I have logitech cordless mouse and keyboard set up for my laptop, when using
autocad I can be happily working for hours then all of a sudden the lights
go out on the receiver unit for the mouse and keyboard so I get no use of
either then within 10 seconds my whole system crashes (I usually notice this
quite quickly so have time to save on autocad using the laptop keyboard,
which still works), I get a blue dos screen with loads of white text on but
its only there for a second then it restarts my computer, so I can't read
what the text screen says. I always use the keyboard and mouse and only have
this problem when using autocad. I have the latest drivers for the keyboard
and mouse and because this problem is only when using autocad logitech can't
help me, they have never heard of this problem.
my system is p4 2.5Ghz, 1GB Ram, 64MB graphics, running windows xp pro, this
problem happens on both autocad r14 and 2004.

any help would be greatly appreciated,

TIA
Mark

I seem to recall that there's also a setting in XP about whether or not
to autoreboot on a system crash; one could presumably find that and turn
it off in order to not have the error message disappear.

Also, go into "Event Viewer" (under Administrative Tools, in the Control
Panel, I think) and see if there's anything recorded in the system logs
when this happens.

Nope, you're the only one who has the problem of not puting a relevant
subject line on your posting. Sorry, you're beyond help.

Hi all,

If you wish to turn off the auto restart feature of XP, right click on My
Computer, go to Properties. O the System Properties that should come up,
click on the Advanced tab. Click on the Settings button in the Startup and
Recovery section. On this new window, click to make sure there is no check
mark in the box next to Automatically Restart. You will have to manually
restart your computer, but will be able to get the codes to maybe find where
the problem is.

HTH,

Gail
