    Solidworks 2006 wont stop crashing....

    Hi, I have recently installed solidworks 2006 and it wont stop crashing indiscriminately. It will crash during an assembly, when creating a feature, or during the drafting mode as well. I cannot see a pattern here myself. This was a fresh install, and all updates were performed prior to...

    SW complete uninstall?

    Hi, Could someone direct me to the thread that outlines the complete uninstall and re-install of Solid works. 2005 has been buggy and I have a suspicion that it was installed with the A/V running. So I want a clean slate to start with when I install 2006. Thanks

    Conflicting software?

    I don't know if this has happened to anyone before, but at least once a day my monitor screen turns black, as if the power was turned off and comes back on in 1-2 sec. It was doing this before the video card was changed, and is still doing it with the new card.

    Conflicting software?

    Solidworks crashes intermittently when opening the Design Library, opening a file, editing a sketch, and sometimes when dimensioning a drawing. It crashes up to 3-4 times a day. Is this normal for SolidWorks? I'm not working with complex geometry or surfaces, just simple prismatic parts. As for...

    Conflicting software?

    I was wondering if there are any known software programs that conflict with Solid Works. I've updated my video drivers for my ati fire gl video card from the solid works website, as well as countless virus scans, adware scans, updates (excluding windows service pack 2). Can proprietary software...

    SolidWorks 2005 Annotations

    Hi, I have a couple of questions concerning drafting with SolidWorks. I have been having some issues when modifying annotation text. When I modify the text it seems to be mirrored above the original annotation text. I dont think it's a graphics card problem because this 'doubled' annotation...
