Cannot browse recent documents

[arcticcatmatt]

Today is not our day. This 2009 upgrade is hurting.

2009 x64 SP1.0

Whenever any of us goes "file-browse recent documents".. system locks up. Happens to every PC I have tried it on.

Completely locks up, or just for 30 seconds or so?

Does the same happen if you just press the R key?

Did you upgrade or clean install?

What are the system specs?
Install from DVD or download?
Admin image?
Which anti-virus is being used and was it disabled?

^ Odd. I just pressed the "r" key, 10 second pause, then thumbnails of recent documents came up. No lock up.

If I do it the other way, it locks up for good. I waited 15 mins and nothing so I have to reboot everytime I try it haha.

Did a clean install.
Installed from image first, had many problems, deleted SW09 from everyones PC, then reinstalled using DVD.

Mcafee is on and I cannot turn it off.

If I were you, and if you have the choice ... dump McAfee.
It's supposed to be OK for SolidWorks (with the noted exception at

but I have had problems with it in the past, and not just with SW.

If you have the time and patience, as a test, delete McAfee from one machine, and do a clean install of SW.

Use something simple like Avast for anti-virus. McAfee is far too intrusive (in my experience) for business use.

I have no say in what antivirus we have.

I wish.....

whoops. Happens when I press control tab also. Locks it up for 15 mins or so.

I will show this thread to our computer department for the registry thing. Think that's it?

I am not getting into the registry of all these computers.
