I have a need to run AutoCAD 10, 1988 version (NOT 2010) on an XP machine (see full story below). I can get AutoCAD to load up and run it's startup sequence, however, it needs specific drivers to run the monitor to go into graphics mode and it just crashes when trying to load a DWG file. If I use a CRT (remember them) I can get it to work fine. I would like to go with a modern LCD display but don't know how to go about it. I've tried the list of drivers supplied with AutoCAD without an luck.


I have an engraving machine from 1989 that I run every day. I run AutoCAD 10 in up to 12 virtual windows in OS/2 3.0 Warp on a 486 machine, sending the files to a 386 machine that controls the engraver using Lantasic or the floppy shuffle.


I have the engraver running on a 386 machine, DOS 6.1
