DDE Server Window: error

[Ian A. White]

Hi,

I have just purchased a new Pentium M 1.4 GHz system with 1 GB RAM and a
60 GB hard disk running Windows XP Pro.

One of the applications I run is AutoCAD 2002. It installs OK, and I
have applied all the service patches for it and XP Pro.

On closing the program an alert pops up

-------------------------------------------------------------------
DDE Server Window: acad.exe Application error

The instruction at <mem addr 1> referenced memory at <mem addr 2>.

The memory could not be "written"
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This alert dialog pops up twice.

The values of mem addr 1 are the same whenever the alert pops up as is
the value of mem addr 2.

To eliminate any physical memory problem, I have run MemTest-86 and
after over an hour of testing, no errors were reported.

I am trying to figure out if this is a WinXP Pro problem or an AutoCAD
problem. Neither knowledgebase has anything specific on this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
