Several months ago I started getting the following pop-up message when I start Autocad or plot a drawing.

Fail to create CommCntrClientSink object!

It does not seem to impact anything but it bothers me. I think that it started after some software update. Not an Autocad or Carlson update as I am using Carlson 2007 with Autocad 2006. Does anyone recognize what this object might be?

To me, that sounds like it might be the communications center window that I used to see appear in the lower right side of the screen. That window is used for shameless self promotion from our favorite AutoCAD folks.

Seems to me I was able to turn it off under Options.

No personal experience but here's one answer from CAD Forum:

Q - question
Fail to create CommCntrClientSink object!
A - answer This error may be a result of other errors or of a missing or damaged DLL file (hardware/communication problem, virus, antivirus interception...). Or an important Registry item was deleted. Or you have not enough user rights to access the Registry.
To solve this problem: as a Power User or Administrator, perform a Repair installation of your CAD product - in Windows Control panels, go to Add/Remove Programs, select the application to repair, click on Change and select
Reinstall/Repair.

or from a discussion group

Hope this helps.
Peter
