If i remember correctly Autocad2007 requires 2 or 3 re-boots in the installation process...and they all show a prompt.
The first time you restarted the opening prompt should have requested the AC CD...
Is this what happened ? ?

I wasn't dat observant to decode if it requestd for such promptings but whenever i click on the desktop autocad icon it opens a page that says.... Autocad application has stopped working and it also said a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.So what do i do to get it corrected?

What OS are you running ? ?
I believe it also requires a few Windows components you may not have such as .net framework 2.0.
Have you read the program requirements on the CD case ?

Have you read the program requirements on the CD case ?

I'd hate to pass judgement on cejo... but I have a feeling that the cd case says, CD-R.
