Hi,
I recently purchased a used CompuAdd 286/12 PC that came with a copy of 
AutoCAD. However, I have had a problem running it. Everytime I try to run
autocad I keep getting the message "Cant find overlay file acad.ovl please
enter path for the file". The overlay file is in the same directory , but
for some reason its not being recognized. I tried putting it on floppy, but
no good. I know the files are good since they worked on my PC at work and I have
had no problems with other software compatibility. Has anyone else had this 
problem? Any suggestions? Since I have a VGA card and monitor, do I need a 
special driver? Also Could someone please post or email the number for
Autodesk or their BBS if they have one.. It wasnt in the sparse documentation
that came with it, one of the perils of buying used software I guess.

Thanks,
SJK
