TurboCAD Disappears on startup

There is a known conflict between TurboCAD and some video adapter drivers.

When this happens you will not be able to get past the start up screen, it will most likely get stuck trying to load the file tcimage.dll. If you try and open up a file, create a new file or hit cancel the start up screen will disappear but TurboCAD will remain running in the background using up much of your CPU.

To stop TurboCAD from running you must end the process through the task manager or shutdown your computer.

Downloading the latest patch of TurboCAD from turbocad.com or updating the driver to your video card may be all you need to do to fix this problem.

If neither of those solutions work then you will need to delete two files from the TurboCAD program folder. I will use the folder paths for Designer v12 for this example.

Imagemanager.dll in C:Program Files/IMSI/TCD12/Program

TCimage.dll in C:Program FilesIMSI/TCD12/Program/Regens

If you delete both of these files TurboCAD will open up. Unfortunately after you delete these files you will be able to insert pictures into your drawings as OLE objects only.
