I just surmounted<\/b> a strange problem in AutoCAD 2007: my toolbars did not load during my AutoCAD session but everything else worked fine.<\/p>\n

When I typed<\/b> the \u201cmenuload\u201d command, the \u201cLoad\\Unload Customizations\u201d dialogue box opened; I browsed to the \u201cSelect Customization File\u201d dialog box and selected the \u201cacad.cui\u201d file and when I tried to load…\u00a0 it didn\u2019t load.<\/p>\n

I tried some other methods<\/b> (suggested by a user forum) such as replacing the \u201cacad.cui\u201d file, assigning a different path to support files and support files from cache…so on and so on… nothing worked!
\n
\nFinally I decided<\/b> to repair the AutoCAD installation through the control panel.<\/p>\n

First I tried<\/b> \u201cRepair errors in my AutoCAD 2007 installation\u201d option and restarted AutoCAD; the problem persisted. Next I tried the \u201cRepair registry\u201d option\u2026 no use. I finally tried the \u201cReinstall AutoCAD 2007\u201d option but that didn\u2019t solve the problem either.<\/p>\n

I was frustrated<\/b> that I couldn’t crack the puzzle.
\n
\nAfter two days,<\/b> when I Googled \u201cmenuload failed loading in AutoCAD 2007\u201d, I came across this link: http:\/\/usa.autodesk.com\/adsk\/servlet\/ps\/item?siteID=123112&id=6132379&linkID=9240617<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, I finally got to the root of the matter:<\/b>
\n
\nThe culprit was the XMLINST.exe file.<\/b> It was missing (somehow?) from the specified path in the Windows directory. I downloaded it and extracted it to the specified path in Windows.<\/p>\n

Then I restarted AutoCAD.<\/b><\/p>\n

Hurray!<\/b>\u2026 my AutoCAD 2007 was restored to the original condition!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
