SW opening file error

[documenteria]

When I try to open a part or assembly file I get this message: "An error has occurred and SolidWorks need to re-start"
If I try to open a drawing file it start OK, with that .SLDDRW open I can open or create any part or assembly file.
I have un-installed and re-installed SW, still the same.
SW 2010 have been used on same PC for months with no problem.
I am using Vista Business, memory 2048MB. Graphics: 256nVIDA Quatro FX570.
Any idea?
So fare I will start work by first opening a drawing.

documenteria,

Are all your assemblies failing, or just one?

This may have something to do with the fact that 2010 is a resource hog. Might I suggest upgrading your memory to at least 12GB (assuming you are using 64-bit OS).

If you have a x32 system, try setting the /3GB switch.

If that improves the situation, add more RAM.
