Start > Run> regedit

Looks like I replied to an ancient thread earlier.... So here's an update on this, more current
thread.
I saw this happen to a number of machines today. I created a good profile under another login
and then continually hacked away at the registry, comparing the one that opened fine to the
one that produced this fatal error. I ultimately traced it down to this single registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.0\ACAD8000:409\WebServices\CommunicationCenter]
@=""
"LastUpdateTimeLoWord"=dword:4be447d0
Changing the dword to 00000000 solved the problem.
Obviously, this isn't a user-editable field and the software is at fault.
For those who are less familiar with registry editing, you can save the following to a text file
with the .REG extension and import it into yofdasfaur registry by double clicking on it (usual
registry editing warnings apply)asd.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
