Jonathan,
I have run it both in AutoCAD 2009 and AutoCAD 2010 with success. Not sure what your problem is. If you want you can email me (info@jtbworld.com) a simple drawing where you draw a polyline and run the AT command on it.

Hi everyone,

I have tried all these solutions and I am now at the end of my thether on this. Microsoft blame the makers of my laptop (Acer) and they in turn blame Microsoft.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and anytime I uninstall anything I start to get this error. The only way that I can get this error to go away is to restore the whole operating system. That is a ridiculous state of affairs and there has to be something that can sort this out.

Can anyone offer anything else that might help out?

Woot! My volume and battery disappeared when I installed the last recommended system update.

Thanks for the solution!

In for example Excel VBA you can use Application.ActivePrinter
You can also use WScript object in VBA like this:
Dim objPrinter
Set objPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter "\\ServerName\PrinterName"

Ben's comment worked for me..
there are some shortcut files (most likely) or some other files that it can't recognise in the pictures directory. Check through each folder and find the problem files. For me it was a shortcut file reffering to another picture folder. Good luck.

so I just deleted the shortcut, which for me was to sample pictures (who cares).
Thanks Ben, works beautifully!

I was able to create a Facilities utility that installs printers, locate people etc.
We have different locations in North, South and Central America, I’m wondering if it’s possible to add a real live clock that indicates the local time to a dwf file.
We have a multy page DWF, one page per location that contains layout with people printer etc. I would like embed add a real live clock to each location that would indicate there local time. I could add the clocks hyperlink’s but it would be much better if it was embedded within the DWF.

Note for myself and others on the SetImpliedSelection function used to clear the current PickFirst selection set but seems to not be needed in AutoCAD 2010.

'' Clear the PickFirst selection set
Dim idarrayEmpty() As ObjectId
acDocEd.SetImpliedSelection(idarrayEmpty)

// Clear the PickFirst selection set
acDocEd.SetImpliedSelection(new ObjectId[0]);

Why is Data1.cab 976mb in size? Geez, I thought Reader was only a ~35mb install... why did I need to give up over a gig of space just to read PDF files?

Stephan, thanks for the reminder.

Less than a month after I did this fix I had to repeat it as several icons started to not show the correct favicon again.
At least the fix worked this time around too.
