Unfortunately after a company DOES make that investment, it is a very big ordeal to uninvest in that. Heidi: agree that if I were starting a company I would not want to invest in Design Review or the dwf format. The Design Review component build versions are:

I really can't afford to keep wasting this much time on malfunctioning software, so I'm hoping that someone has a fix for this. Unfortunately, even with the newer build number, it is still hijacking my keyboard, and checking for updates still does nothing. I searched online, and found two hot fixes for Design Review, so I downloaded and installed both of them, and now my build number is 14.0.2.191. I was then instructed to check for updates, and it tells me 'New Autodesk Design Review information is available.' so I click 'Get it now' and absolutely nothing happens.

The build number stayed the same before and after all of that, at 14.0.0.177. I contacted Autodesk help, and they claimed that I didn't have the most recent version installed, so I uninstalled Design Review and then reinstalled it, with the most recent download directly from Autodesk's website. This has become highly disruptive as I then have to stop working, force quite all instances of Design Review via the task manager, then reopen all of the drawings that I previously had open. When this occurs I can either see the green 'D' logo in the upper left corner of my screen, or an 'F' in a grey box in the same location, as if someone were using Design Review and pressed alt to access the menu via keyboard. When this started to happen I thought that I had a string of bad keyboards, until I noticed that Design Review is the culprit. DWF format, and without maximizing or using Design Review recently it will randomly take control of the keyboard and not allow the application currently in use to receive any keyboard input. I will have Design Review running in the background, and I always have at least one instance of Design Review running as I'm constantly looking through drawings in. For multiple years now Autodesk Design Review will randomly hijack my keyboard, and I can't find a way to stop it.
