View Full Version : Autocad 2005 - won't start after profile move

Hello gang, I've got a user who worked perfectly well in the old domain, but since he was moved to a new domain, the profile on his desktop is preventing Autocad2005 starting.

I could either re-install Autocad from scratch, but it usually gets right confused with the licence (which IS valid) when taking it off one machine or profile and re-installing to another, or I could freak his new profile to be named as his old profile, though about a dozen other apps will then need fine tuning. The error I'm getting is:

FATAL ERROR: Invalid configuration path\filename: C:\blah blah blah pointing to old profile.

Can any of you suggest which file describes this path, as I'd rather hack that and just add the newer profile path as opposed to the other two methods above. I've looked around for quite a while and cannot find the appropriate file to edit.

I'm not completely sure I understand. Can you use the icon located in his old profile?

the old profile is not used - log on to a new domain, so his desktop is only on the current profile. The issue is when i click the icon, it tries to referrence files in his OLD profile, I need to find out where that detail is read from, so I can change it to referrance the current account.
