See if you can run program as administrator. Right-click on startup icon and choose "Run as Administrator". Will that help? I think this is a permission related error such as that the OCX file is not registered properly during installation. Other possibility is that order of install may be out of sync.

MSSCRIPT.OCX Error
We seem to be getting quite a bit of inquiries lately regarding this msscipt.ocx related error message when working with pipe networks. It is not limited to Civil 3D and also manifests itself in AutoCAD MEP. This is a Microsoft file and error caused by the file, that has little to do with Civil ...
No, the command is still there but is executed from command line by ReportSurfaceVolume.

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 New Features: Surfaces in Volume Dashboard
For quite a few years, we have been able to compare two surfaces (existing and proposed, for instance) and get some cut and fill values. Volume Dashboard takes it a step further because it allows you to break down your surfaces in phases or for some particular area of your concern such as a lot ...
Fadi,
It's hard to tell how much because many things play a role in there. Things like size and complexity of drawings, network architecture (if drawings stored on the servers), RAM, processors, graphic drivers, OS all play roles in the performance. The biggest performance improvement - not the only one, though - you may expect when dealing with corridors because now only the regions that are being edited are recalculated.

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 New Features: Overview of Changes (What’s New and Improved)
I can’t believe it’s that time of the year. It really seemed like it was a few weeks ago when we were doing this last year. I am talking about a series of blog posts introducing new features and changes to Civil 3D 2013. Besides some changes credited to the core AutoCAD functionality which you m...
Glad you like it!

Rotate Point Marker and Label Independently
Ability to rotate point marker and label independently in Civil 3D was customers’ wish for a while. With Civil 3D 2012 that wish has been granted. You could have read about Rotating Labels on Being Civil site. You may also remember how tedious this task was in previous versions. Our own, Seth ...
Hi Cemil,
Not sure if I can follow completely. Are you saying that you are not able to see menu pull-downs? If that's the case set MENUBAR system variable to 1.
If you are not able to see Civil tools, you may need to confirm you launch Civil 3D with Imperial or metric icon on your desktop and not Civil 3D as AutoCAD. Also check CUILOAD and make sure C3D.CUIX is loaded.
Otherwise, if you are subscription customer, send us your SR or log into Forums to see if your issue could be resolved that way.

This drawing was created with a newer version of Civil 3D...What?!
I have seen this more than handful of times but I have to admit it, long time ago. This morning I got a phone call asking what the reason for this message is. Customer was running the latest release of Civil 3D (2012) and when tried to open one drawing got a message saying: "This drawing was cr...
Yes. There are different ways that the bad installation may manifest itself. In general, every time program refuses to install or remove may point to a bad install. In that kind of situation this workflow may be used. Thanks for pointing that out, Tom.

Cannot Uninstall and/or Reinstall
This is one of those tips which you can read with special caution. General rule of thumb is, anything done in Registry editor should be approached with special caution. I have seen following issue in more than a handful cases and I just wanted to share with your how to resolve it. Typical scenar...
Hi Jon,
Here are the two extracts from readme:
You must have AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Update 2 installed prior to installing the Subscription Advantage Pack. If you attempt to install the Subscription Advantage Pack on an instance of AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 that has not yet had Update 2 applied, you will receive an error message.
If you intend to apply the AutoCAD Civil 2010 Subscription Advantage Pack to your installation of AutoCAD Civil 3D, you must do so before applying AutoCAD Civil 3D Update 3. Attempts to apply the Subscription Advantage Pack after application of AutoCAD Civil 3D Update 3 will fail.

If you are one of those customers that prefers installing new product after the first Update (or Service Pack) you may be happy see this post. In the next few lines I will explain what some of you already know, so that all can follow. Updates are different name for Service Packs Civil 3D witho...
