AutoCAD 2004 and Windows 7 are NOT compatible. You will need to upgrade to AutoCAD 2010 either 32-bit or 64-bit. Even with the upgrade, there are known limitation issues.

Windows 7 is a 64 bit operating system, and autoCAD is only 32 bit software, which is not compatible with this operating system.
I've been searching around for a solution for my AutoCAD 2004, and have now found one - so I thought I'd update everyone on Fixya since I've always used the solutions and never posted! I used a tool called the Longbow Converter, it installed my AutoCAD 2004 on 64bit Windows 7 perfectly - hope it helps. Nex
Install the widows 7 32 bit version, and it will run great.
I had a similar problem... vista 64 bit... autocad wouldn't run... when w7 came out, bought the upgrade for $200 and installed the 32 bit verision... $200 vs $1100
