I tried it and it don not lock up. I have an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200.

Have you tried updating video drivers?

 

Len,

Thanks for the suggestion.

The original Nvidia Quadro Pro driver on my system was 6.14.10.5673 (Microsoft).

I used the XP Windows Hardware Update Wizard to update the driver and it picked up version: 6.14.10.6573 (Microsoft)

The Text Rectangle problem still occurred using that driver.

I then went to Nvidia website / downloaded / drivers. There was another version of the Quadro Pro driver listed which had the Autodesk(AutoCAD application) okeydokey certification. That version was: 6.14.10.6722

I downloaded and installed that video driver and have not been able to reproduce the Text Rectangle command problem since loading the 6.14.10.6722 video driver.

Looks like the problem is gone. Thanks for the suggestion.
