Kicked out of SolidWorks! Ugh! Help! 1

[BikerChic]

I am getting kicked out of Solid Works almost daily and it is driving me nuts. Even If I just try to change a solid line to center line, Bamb! Kicked out. Anyone else having this problem? I am currently using SW2010 SP2.0

What have you tried to fix it? Have you looked at a repair install? Cleared out your temp files?

I have done a complete re-install, with a complete uninstall before. (wiped registry). Nothing I seem to do is working. Do you know if this is this a common issue?

 

[Eltron]

Tough to say. What are your system specs? Have you tried to upgrade sp's?

Quadro NVS 290/PCI/SSE2

Could this be causing my issues? If so How can I fix this?

You can try to get the graphics card out of the equation by operating in "Software OpenGL" mode. Close all files in SW that might be open, then Tools> Options> Performance, and enable "use software OpenGL". If you can do your work with this enabled, then your graphics card is the issue.

The NVS card is the most likely suspect.

MadMango,
I just tried that and still got kicked out trying to change a line from solid to center line. Thanks for the help. this is gonna make me go insane!

Is there another computer you can try the same file on? It's possible that the file is corrupt. Do you have any older backups that you can try to open and perform the same actions?

I have the only seat of SW in the company. I was just opening a new part file, sketch a line, then right click on it to change it to center line and Bamb! Pow! Zap! I'm kicked out...
LOL. Sorry I'm trying to make myself laugh a little. Heee heee!

Is there another computer with a video card (any brand) which you could temporarily swap out to test?

You could also try the latest driver from

@ CorBlimeyLimey,
I am down loading now. I'll let u know if it works.
Thx.

 

[BikerChic]

Downloaded and installed new driver. No luck! Well I will have to come back to this. i can't spend all this time and get nowhere. Thanks everyone for all your suggestions.

BikerChic,
I have to know this. Was SW working before and now crashes? Is it the file itself?
