Has anyone ever seen this error msg? I seem to be getting this more and more often now when trying to open certain files. (which open fine on other pc's in our office).
-------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error
Program: D:\SolidWorks\SLDWORKS.exe

adnormal program termination
-------------

Ive got a pretty good new system too:
P4-3.2GHz
2gig Ram
80gig SATA hd
winXP Pro (SP2)
Solidworks 2005 SP0.1

Our server needs to be upgrade though...We are running 3 computers off a win98 box (fat32)! Im not sure if that is whats causing this particular error though.

maybe turn off virus/firewall protection and reinstall SolidWorks?
 
Whoa! Windows 98?

I'm not sure, but you may have hit a RAM allocation limit of some sort. I never use servers to access applications, so I might be way off here, but I'd imagine this would be a major problem--especially since Win 98 isn't supported by SW (especially not new versions).

This is a system error, it's install issue. Try doing a few of these FAQ's:

faq559-884 - This will not your problem but should be done anyway.
faq559-507
faq559-908
faq559-488

What version of SW are you running? If your running SW05 then make sure your on SP0.1

Yeah im running SW05 sp.01. I have a feeling the new "Collaboraton" feature is causing some of the problems. Maybe it isnt compatable with win98! We are looking into getting a basic server for our 3 design computers here. Any server suggestions?? :D

 
Yeah i've always been an AMD fan. But all the companies i've worked for, didn't want anything to do with them.

Well, i switched OFF the "/3GB" Windows switch, and my system seems to be a bit more stable. I've also lowered my page file back down to 2GB (initial/max). So far so good..... All in all it still doesn't make any sense why it should be more stable!....

The problem is obviously in your machine & you probably need to do a repair or re-install. Have you tried working through the FAQs suggested in SBaughs post?
