AutoCAD R13 not compatible with Win XP, help!

[pixiepoet]

I know this may be a lost cause, but we have AutoCAD R13 and we're trying to install it on XP and it comes up with the message "Can't find file "MFCUIA32.dll"

I know the AutoCAD website says that it is not compatible, but does anyone out there know of a way to MAKE it compatible?

We are in a small office and our AutoCAD person only knows AutoCAD R13.

I thought that all I needed to do was to find this file on a Win 98 OS CD, and copy it onto the harddrive. Well, the problem is that Win 98 does not have this file either. WEird.

Win XP doesn't use DOS anymore and this may be the source of your issue. We use a WIN2K app called APCOMPAT.exe to solve these issues sometimes. Here is a link about it:
