My turn for SW crashing
My turn for SW crashing
(OP)
I've been running SW05 for 4 months without a hitch. Yesterday it started crashing.
Details:
OS: XP pro service pack 2
Video card: Nvidia GeForce FX5700LE
Was running SW SP 0.0
This morning downloaded SW SP 0.1
I've been trying to get some drawings out the door. Talking to SW tech support, they thought the size of the drawing files could be a problem( one was 7 C-size sheets ). I split the big drawing files into smaller ones, one sheet per file. Still crashed. I've remade the drawings still a problem. Downloaded SP 0.1, no help. Only two things I know is to upgrade my video card or to try and clean up my registry. Any other suggestions.

However as you have been running SW05 for several months, check to see if the graphics driver has been updated recently via "Windows update". If it has try doing a rollback to an earlier driver. You could also try a "System restore" to a time before you started having a problem.
What are your other system specs (CPU, RAM, etc)?
How big (MB) are the assy models & drawing files?
What is your Virtual Memory set at?

RE: My turn for SW crashing
My drafting CPU doesn't get to play on the internet, so no windows updates.
System specs
dual AMD Opteron 242 1.59GHz
2 GB of Ram
file size: part 3MB, drawing 3MB
Virtual memory: 2GB
I only have on computer running solidworks, I'm sending the files to tech support, they should be able to tell me if the problem is with a corrupt file.
All drawing open fine. The seem to crash when dimensioning, zooming in of out, or saving.
Crashes occur both with and without the solidmodel open first.

But none the less you card isn't supported, and is most likely the problem point that you are seeing.
Did you clean your TEMP's out? See FAQ if you don't know how.
