Laurence,
A quick search reveals that many others have had similar problems and it
appears to be caused by a faulty installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Check the following links for more information. Without knowing how it was
installed, I have included a download link for the large (266 MB) download.
If you have the Microsoft SP2 CD, or know someone who does, that would work
also. Good luck.

Subject: [PCSOFT] reposting: autocad installation problem
i received no feedback for my post below and am still concerned about how to
free the space of the large autocad application in the best way.
does any one have any suggestions?
thanks,
laurence grignolol
i inadvertently installed autocad 2002 on a pc with xp home as os and have
now discovered that it is not compatible with xp home but only with xp
professional.
after installation, when i clicked the icon on the desktop to start the
program i got the following message:
the application or ddl c:\Programs\commonfiles\autodeskshared\AcGe15.dll
is not a valid Windows image. Verify with the installation disk (this is a
literal translation of the message i get in italian)
i then tried to uninstall from the control panel, but in the control panel
autocad does not appear: there is however a very large empty space between
"alcatel" and "avg" (so much so i thought all the other programs below
alcatel had somehow disappeared).
so uninstall isn't possible from the control panel and there doesn't seem to
be an uninstall option next to the autocad that appears as new application
in the list of programs opened from the start button.
does anyone know what i can do to uninstall what is now on my computer
occupying quite alot of hard disk space(obviously not wanting to delete the
program folder only) or possibly whether there is a way to get 2002 to work
on xp home?
thanks in advance for any solutions or suggestions,
laurence grignolo
