I just had one of my users go through the "official" Win2K > WinXP transition process with his PC (Vectra VL420, 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM, ATI FireGL T2 graphics card). After the transition, he was able to load Modeling without error, but every time he launched Drafting, it would mostly load and then display the error dialog box:

*** SIGNAL RECEIVED: Segmentation Violation

Click OK, Drafting goes away and there is another dialog box on the desktop:

The instruction @ "0x018119d5 referenced memory @ 0x0000000c". The memory could not be read.

Same results after upgrading graphic drivers for the T2 card. He has no problems currently with OSD Modeling. Apparently there have been some technical problems with this OS transition process, enough to put the project on hold. So, last week, since this is a non-R&D box, our PC support subcontractor reimaged the box with XP. The user installed OSDD and voila!, it started working again. Now, today, he is back to the sigsegv error even after a reboot. We have not reinstalled the current drivers for the T2 card which I'm pretty sure were stepped on by the reimage.

Ideas?
