We are having a small issue trying to run SOlidworks on Our Windows 7 32 bit account.

When our admin runs solidworks he can run Solidworks just fine.  But when a user with limited permission's tries to run solidworks I get an APP crash error.  We have messed around with some of the permission's.

What Permission settings needs to changed so A user can run Solidworks on Windows 7.  Or any other helpful info would be great to get us going on this.
Thanks

I suspect your issue is more SolidWorks 2007 on Win7 more so than anything else. The only supported version of SolidWorks on Win7 is 2010. Anytime you run on an unsupported system, being it the OS or video card, you're going to run into issues at some point. Some people have few problems, others have nothing but problems.
You say your admin can run it just fine. I'd say you need full admin rights to have a shot.

I did not know about being supported. Thanks for the feedback. Crude.
 
We had an issue where SW needed write access to the C drive. Some default permission settings lock this out because it is (usually) your Windows install drive.
