I use Autocad LT-95 Rel.2, worked fine with Win95. With XP-Home-SP2, my
Athlon 2.2 ghz processor will max and remain at 100%. The program only
requires a 486 processor and 8 mb ram. I've set Compatability to Win95,
performed 'clean boot', then opened program, and read hundreds of threads.
Nada. If anyone has an idea, please think 'old person' when responding.


What led you to believe that the old version of AutoCAD would function properly under any NT-based version of Windows? You could try running it inside of a virtual machine (VMware Server and Virtual PC are both free) but you would need to buy another license of Windows to run inside that virtual machine and then install AutoCAD in there. Otherwise, it is upgrade time for AutoCAD (presuming you have a legit copy), and assuming there is an upgrade path between that really old version and the current release (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=8446950 lists upgrading to version 2008 only back to version 2005).
