File Link Manager and XP64

[jacksc02]

Hi Everyone,
I have recently built my new computer on xp64 and I am having issues with max 7.5 and file linking autocad files. As soon as a file is selected to link a microsoft visual c++ runtime library error comes up and i have to enter the task manager to end the process because the memory usage goes through the roof!

I have lodged the problem with discreet/autodesk and i havent heard anything from them.
If anyone has anyone ideas as what i can do that would be good.

Has anyone had similar problems?

I haven't seen this either

[jacksc02]

are you gouys running xp64 though?

[Dynedain]

yep, and have a scene that I've been using file link manager extensively on

[jacksc02]

hmmm ok, what version of sutocad are you using?
Also what motherboard?

[Dynedain]

Motherboard shouldn't matter, but I'm on a Tyan Tiger K8W (S2875) motherboard running dual Opteron 246.

I don't run AutoCAD, but I think these files came from ACAD 2005.

from what i can gather the motherboard drivers are the problem, there is some uncompatability between the c++ libraries that the motherboard software installs.
