Autocad with SMARTDrive 4.0 Requires NewDX Patch (83742)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q83742 SUMMARY
After you install Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1,
running Autocad 11 and Autocad 386 generates the following error
message when run outside of Windows if SMARTDrive (SMARTDRV.EXE)
version 4.0 is loaded
Use vdisk switch signature at address xxxxxh
where xxxxxh is the address.
To correct this problem, use the NewDX program that ships with Autocad
to avoid conflicting with SMARTDrive.
MORE INFORMATION
NewDX is in compressed format. When it is run, it decompresses itself
and supplies the necessary files and Help document. NewDX determines
where Autocad starts using extended memory.
Example: If you have 8 MB of RAM and 2 MB of it is being used by
SMARTDrive, then you should tell NewDX to start using extended memory
above where SMARTDrive is active.
