Dear Michael :
Umm... If all AutoCAD R14 drawing files are causing AutoCAD 2002 to crash, then it sounds like your AutoCAD 2002 is missing a DLL or something. You would need to reinstall AutoCAD.
If you have any additional questions or need any further information, please contact me again.
Sincerely,
Chris E. Maeder, M.S.
