    Angry Anyone using AutoCAD 2000 and XP ?

    At work, I use ACad 2000 LT.

    On my previous laptop running Windows 2000 Pro, when I wanted to open a file via File -> Open, the "Select File" dialogue box appears, with the files and directories listed.

    Now I've upgraded to XP, I keep on getting an icon list. If I go to Views and select details (Which is what I always want), change directory, it goes back to frikkin icon view.

    I've had a look on Autodesk's website. this is the closest to what I'm experiencing, yet it seems to be an OS thing. And I wouldn't mind if it was a list view as they claim it is. But it isn't! It's the icon view which is the most unhelpful view possible.

    It's doing my head in

    Any ideas? please!

    Hmm, it may just be a funny glitch with ACad 2000 and Windows XP.

    Interestingly, if I go to the save as dialogue box, first view is details Change directory and it goes back to icons
