Inventor on XP

David,
Have you tried doing an "uninstall" from the original Autodesk R3 CD versus just using the desktop add/remove programs function? I did an uninstall via CD first on mine. This will get rid of all the cdilla security codes that are embedded all over your computer. You should then be able to restart your computer and then load Inventor R4 with the new registration codes. Also, I believe Nate mentioned using the compatibility mode. I did have to set mine up by opening the program and setting the compatibility mode to Windows 2000. You do this by right clicking on the desktop icon and selecting right folder "compatibiltiy". There is a drop-down list that allows you to select the different operating system types. This is one of the BIGGEST features of Windows XP!!! I haven't found a piece of software yet that won't work doing this. Granted I haven't tried a lot of them, but all of my software that wouldn't work on Windows Me now works on XP. Just thought I would throw that out.
Later,
Mike Carron
