CAD and Vista

Is anyone running AutoCAD on Windows Vista? I have AutoCad 2008 (32-bit), and my verision of Vista is 64-bit, it won't let me install it. I can also get CAD 09 but its 32-bit aswell so I'm assuming that it isn't going to work.

If anyone has CAD in a 64-bit version please let me know, or if anyone can get a hold of a copy.

best advice. get xp

hey amn i was actually downloading the 64bits edition for a friend. i can let you know when its done.
7+Gbs. so gotta wait

Sure let me know as soon as you can, I have until next monday to take back my computer so if i dont get it working buy then ill have to get a 32-bit os

Yeah Vista is a flop!

I've been hearing that a lot, and was starting to wonder if i should just load xp onto it, maybe when it crashes lol

i loaded xp on to mine it was the best thing i have done

does it void any warranty or anything stupid like that?

i dont think it matters if you have the backup cd.
if anything happens just restore with the backup cd then take it in.

Did that CAD you downloaded end up working?

No yet still in the process

if you still need it by this monday i doubt it would be done.... its so huge and there are few seeders. let me know if you would need it after monday

hey would i be able to get a copy of that aswell, ive been trying to get my hands on a copy forever, ill even pay you if i can get this program

actually would i be able to borrow your 32 bit Cody? I run vista 32 bit, if so that would be awesome, again same deal, ill pay you to put it on my laptop

Yeah sure, but i got a hold of some modified files for acad 2008 32-bit so that it can work on 64-bit, and now its all good but when i go to install it it says there is some files missing, im going to try to get another copy cause i think this one is messed up, if not then ill possibly get 09 32-bit.

You can try it if you want, give me a call 527-5627 I'll have it on me, If it works on yours then i can burn a copy but I'm doubting it will cause I think there is files missing on the cd i have.

luispizarro25, I have another week before i can't take the computer back, so if it finishes sometime this week then it'll be all good, and I will also give you some cash.

so i just vnc into my computer from home and realized that the cad torrent file is finished.
However it says AutoCAD 2009 electrical, not sure if this is special version or what
your welcome to come check it out tonight after 8pm.

It's all good, i found some modified files for the 32-bit version of 08 and installed it on my computer.

If anyone needs these files (they allow 32-bit AutoCad 08 to be installed on 64-bit Vista) let me know
