Do you really want to do this?

[QuincyFox]

Autodesk Architectural Desktop with AutoCAD 2002

On startup I get a message:

"Everything has been undone
Do you really want to do this?"

1. How can I prevent this?
2. How do I get to my dwg?
If I click N for no, it justs asks again.
If I click Y for yes, it gives me a fatal error

Sometimes, I can randomly get passed it, but soon it is another fatal error.

Thanks,
Paul

The solution always comes when you start complaining:

It has something to do with hatch. I think that the hatch was searching for a boundary.

On one of the rare times that it started, I qselected all the hatch Wblocked it and erased it. Then it all works fine.

Thanks for your consideration,
Paul

When I have seen this happen it has been when an xreferenced entity was used as a hatch boundary.

Considering the error occurrence on startup, you can be sure that an error occurs in a routine or program that automatically runs in AutoCAD startup and the error routine of that program tries to undo what it has done before error occurrence. Finding the source of this error is tricky. If you know autoLISP or VBA, take a look at acad.lsp, acaddoc.lsp, acad.dvb, and other programs that run automatically on startup.
Anyway finding the source of this error could take long time because it may caused by conflicts between Windows system and AutoCAD startup routines.
Uninstalling, removing all files, and reinstalling Architectural Desktap my solve the problem.
