'Solidworks Help Topics' option

'Solidworks Help Topics' option

(OP)
Here's a problem I'm having and it's probably so obviuos that I don't see it: I upgraded successfully to SW 2007 and it runs great. The minor problem I'm having is that I don't have the 'Solidworks Help Topics' option. I accessed the 'customize menu' option and picked the 'Solidworks Help Topics' option but no luck. The odd thing is that I do have the option when I don't have anything loaded up in the Solidworks screen. I tip would be much appreciated.

Thanks

RE: 'Solidworks Help Topics' option

If you have subscription, download "SolidWorks Help File".

Thanks ctopher. But I'm still baffled as to why I do have the option when I don't have anything loaded up in the Solidworks screen. BTW: SW portal for downloads is down according to the website until today?

Thanks again.

RE: 'Solidworks Help Topics' option

Not sure why it would not show. It shows on mine.
The SW portal has been working for me today.

RE: 'Solidworks Help Topics' option

What does your VAR have to say about the problem?

Did you disable all Anti-Virus programs before installing?
Whether you did or not, try:

Alternative to try before reinstalling  FAQ559-507
How do I Repair or Modify of a SW Installation?  FAQ559-908
How do I do a clean uninstall & reinstall of Solidworks?  FAQ559-488

cheers

Hey CorBlimeyLimey.

Thanks for your response. I did get in contact with our VAR; they will get back to us shortly. Before I upgraded I had done everything on the threads you refer to plus disabling the anti-virus.

Thanks again.

FYI: I applied service pack 2.2 and the help file appeared. Thanks to all for your help.
