Hi Maser, Sounds like the files have not been installed properly? Yes you can just download them from the following link : http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/subscription/downloads3.html The file you want is : swHelpEnglish.zip You must be a subscription support customer to get into...

Hi Maser, Just so you know, the problem PC wasnt mine, however I think our hardware supplier has since re-installed XP and this might have fixed it? Our hardware supplier reckons XP SK2 is to blame, because the PC was working and tested with XP SPK1a when it was shipped. ( mmmm but did they...

I'm not sure if this the same thing but here's my penny's worth....When I'm using PDMW, I turn off "Search file locations for external references", TOOLS>>OPTIONS>>SYS OPTIONS>>EXT REF's. Although PDMW checks out the assembly and its referenced parts to your check out folder, its my...

Hi Guys, The install is running 2005 SP0.1. Thank-you so much for the suggestions on internet explorer settings in the advanced tab, I was not aware of these. Unfortuntely, it didnt stop the errors from popping up, we also rebooted after setting them, but no difference. I will investigate a...

Hello, Has anyone encountered a problem when they open their SWhelp file (Solidworks.chm)? This can happen on any version of SW, and its linked to Internet Explorer. From the SWHelp menu, go to the SWHelp option, and when the help window launches, the error appears. On some help pages it dosent...

the lock file gets created on all MS OS's. if you open it in notepad, it contains the PC name and user name, so if someone else tries to open a file while you have read/write access, to the the main file, the other user can get a message telling them that "MR X already has it open on PC Y), or...

Hi, I've come across a very simliar issue, and we found that the date for an office license in the SNL file had expired. It was pretty much the same situation, SW was OK, the license string for SW had a valid date, but for office ( and only office....weird) was the only one that had expired...

Hi Scott, I got a reply back from SW tech support in Concord. I was told that the address space overhead is bigger in a 64-bit OS, and this may not give any real benefit compared to running 32-bit SolidWorks on a 32-bit OS with the 3GB switch enabled. However they are still investigating this...

Hi Guys, if you are still reading this thread. I have got a bottomn line answer on this subject. Sw2005 will not install correctly on XPx64 because it has trouble populating the registry. If you are looking to use more memory then you must stick to XP Pro and enable the 3Gb switch. best regards...

Sorry Jack3108, I've never been to the page myself, I just tried it too and couldnt find it either, MASSIVE SORRY. More digging on the microsoft website i think. Theophilus, cheers for your input too. You're right, I am more interested in the OS side of things, because this is the key bit which...

Thanks Scott.The 3GB switch option has been available for some time (Whats new 2004), + I'm a greedy person, and I want more than 3GB. Knowing that theres hardware out there which will support up to 8Gb of RAM, I'm determained to work out if I can get to use all of it, and XPx64 gives me that...

Dear AAmoroso. Thanks for the input. I know SW isnt compiled for 64bit enviroment, but you can run 32bit apps on XP64 inside an emulator. "Windows XP Professional x64 Edition provides a rich platform to integrate 64-bit technical applications and existing 32-bit business applications using the...

cheers for the feedback guys. i think i'll just try it and see how i get on. i'll make sure i go for a cheap 64bit motherboard and cheaper chip, i.e not go for the AMD FX-55. i'll let you know how i get on, if i can get the cash sorted for the project. happy xmas too!

Hi PDMAdmin, Thank-you for the reply. I talked to SW tech support at least 6 months ago, and pretty much got the same reply. They also said that Microsoft's view on this is that software vendors just need to re-compile their source code to run on 64bit. SW said it would take 100's of staff...
