I can open some .dwg files but not all. I get the following error msg when i try to open them "Unable to locate and open seed file required to open this file. Check the MSTRASNSEED configuration variable."
Cat get it to work, and its frustrating. Im thinking about installing AutoCAD and hope that this might solve the problem. Non of the collegues at work have had a similar problem. But im the only one that have made a fresh installation of V8i and i did not have any previous versions of microstation on my computer.

Hi Phil,
I was strangely not getting a software problem report and was unable to find any exception logs. I have though managed to correct the problem, though how effectively I am not sure, by copying my 'system' folder from the C:\drive and replacing the 'system' folder on my network workspace. Seems to have solved the problem and dwg's are now opening and saving as expected. Myst have been something lying in the system file that was confusing it somewhere along the line.
Thanks for your help though guys. much appreciated..

If you are getting a "Bentley Software Problem Report", you should submit that (so we can take a look at the details here). If you are getting Exception Logs, by default those will be under $(MS_TMP)/ExceptionHistory/.
AFA the .CFG is concerned, there may be something going on behind-the-scenes with mimetypes and IIS, so could you put a .txt extension on the file and try to attach/upload it again? TIA
Don, standards.cfg attached again for you.
Where would I find the crash folder/log?
I had just tried to save your DGN file to DWG but did not catch a crash. I was unable to find an exception report from you in Bentley's crash folder. Are you able to post/send me your exception log from the crash? Catching an exception in saving DWG file may eventually lead us to find the root cause of the file opening problems.
When I tried to download standards.cfg I got Error 404 - file or directory not found. I had downloaded your other files successfully.

Don,
the DWG open options box found the transeed.dgn in the correct network location -F:\YMStandards\Workspace\system\seed\transeed.dgn. (C:\Documents and settings... does not exist) MS_TRANSEED_OVERRIDE is undefined.
What do you mean my satndards file causes a download failure?
When opening a dwg if I select the transeed file that resides on my C:\drive (C:\Program Data\Bentley\Workspace\System\Seed\transeed.dgn) they open without a problem. However when 'saving as' or exporting I am still getting the crash
