I have installed r14 on 3 three different XP computers and can not get some commands to work. Rectangle and draw order are two that will not work for me. I also get an error code 9 and a failed to install VBA components
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am also running S8.
Thanks

Run the install program in Win98 compatibility mode. If needed, you can also
run ACAD.EXE in Win98 compatibility mode, although that has not been
necessary here. We run R14 daily on WinXP Pro without difficulty.

No need for the comptibility mode.
Be sure that the users have administrator rights on their machines on XP.
Problems could also be with SoftDesk. Plain R14 has no problems with XP

To clarify: that's SP1. SP2 is still in beta; Microsoft has reportedly
identified "issues" with AutoCAD 2004 and 2005, and will hopefully resolve
those before the final release of SP2.
