autocad compatability

Hello all, I am running the CPP windows ultimate and am loving it. I am an architectural draftsman and use AUTOCAD daily, and I cannot get the program to load. Autocad 2006 and 2007 loaded perfectly, but upon starting the program vista lets me know that the program stopped almost immediately. I have worn out the compatability mode with no results. Please help, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Which edition of Vista?

I use AutoCAD 2006 also, when I launch it in Vista x64 it becomes non-responsive and I have to end it through Task Manager. Its a definite compatibility issue with Vista. I uninstalled it and didn't bother to use Compatibility mode, maybe you will get better results with that focusroller. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
