Ladies and/or Gentlemen,
I'm looking for some help with a problem I'm having using C & G 6.1 on a Windows 7 machine. The program in using Autocad 2000 as the CAD portion of the program.
Each time I try and use the CAD portion of this program I get maybe two or three commands into a drawing and get the Internal Error : GEDIT 3 message and then the program shuts down. I never had this problem running the program on an XP pro machine, so I'm at a loss.
I'm reasonably sure that you'll need more information, so I'll just ask for any help I can get and answer whatever questions I can.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Alan,
Not sure what you are dealing with there, but I googled "gedit 3" and there seems to be a good bit of conversation on the interwebs about this error message.
Good luck,
JB
Never mind running, I'm surprised .....
you could load ACAD 2000 on a Win7 machine. I stongly suspect that is your problem.
JB,
Yes, I've perused some of those sites and haven't narrowed any of them down to something helpful. That doesn't mean that there isn't something of value there, it just eludes me to this point.
Thanks for the help, though.

Dave,
I've tried running in Administrator mode and setting the compatibility to XP pro, service pack 2, but no joy yet.

That is a strange error message, GEDIT is a linux command used to edit a txt file the DOS command was just edit.
Do you have someway to check and see if your default text editor in acad has changed to something weird.
The main problem we have had we acad C3D and Windows7 is that we had to turn the graphic accelarator off on several computers to stop screen flickering and other erratic happenings.
Did this setup work and then stopped or did it break after a software or hardware change?

Robert,
This setup hasn't worked since I downloaded the program on the machine.
As far as the text editor, I'm not sure if anything about that has changed or not, but the program crashes when editing text, moving text, or moving linework.

I just did a google search for gedit 3 and what a lot of problems this has caused, seems acad has not solved the problem but this guy had some suggestions.

Alan, I ran into similar problems with my TGO on a windows 7 machine. Above running in compatibility mode, Wendell suggested that I run as an administrator. Once I did the last portion, the program worked. As Wendell kind of explained to me, it really doesn't do one without the other.
Now, I don't have either of your programs on my machine so I really don't know, but I do know that was the hat trick that made the XP program work on the 7 machine.
Hope it helps

Robert,
Yes, I read that discussion you linked, and the guy is probably correct in that buying the latest software will probably be the easiest, albeit most expensive, fix.

Kris,
I'm running in Administrator mode already. No joy. 🙁
Here's something from the "kind" folks at Autodesk which provides a few things to look at:

In another discussion, was it not mentioned that it may only be the top of the line Win 7 business professional (or some such) that allows the virtual machine thing that allows older AutoCAD to run?
You probably need to run in ......
an XP emulator. Either the Microsoft Version or something like VirtualBox. I don't think "compatibility" will deal with the ACAD issues. Win7 is he11 on old software.

Dave,
Thanks. I've downloaded VirtualBox and will install it in the morning. We'll see where that goes.
