Solidworks 2007 and windows vista
(OP)
I am having trouble running sldworks on my new laptop which has vista home premium.
The installation goes fine and I can run sldworks when it prompts me at the end of installation. However once I close the program and try to open it at another time, windows gives me a message saying Soliworks has stoped working, windows will close the program. So now I can't even open the program.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
AR

1) Unless you have a ATI Fire GL card it will probably be next to useless for SolidWorks.
2) The currently available versions of SolidWorks are not compatible with Vista. SW07-SP3 will be the first release to be compatible ... due out anytime.

I take it from that statement, that a clean install will be necessary.

nVidia has hardware OpenGL, yet the Solidworks Vista Beta still does not use it. It seems to have the software version of OpenGL hardcoded even if the 'software opengl' checkbox is unchecked.

Seems you can't buy a home pc (Dell, Gateway, HP) anymore with WinXP...only Vista. They give you that option on their workstations but people don't want a workstation for home use.

does ug run on vista
does pro e run on vista
does catia run on vista
hey autocad doesnt run on vista
etc etc
the problem being people are spending so much time meddling and wondering it makes you wonder why they are not producing i havent seen anywhere or anything in vista that is even bordering on great let alone making it worth upgrading
and i definitely havent seen anything in vista from the beta releases that has intimated , vista will greatly improve your engineering departments productivity it seems people just want something new to look at
its taken a long time to get to a point where people are happy just to complain about their software running on xp safe in the knowledge they can at least fix it
,makes me wonder if cad/engineering guys and gals are just glutton for punishment when they willingly open up a new can of headaches especially hen theres little to be done at the moment
for me its a sit it out till it actually does benefit me

Are you saying you have Swx 2007 sp2.2 running on Vista? How does it perform?

RE: Solidworks 2007 and windows vista
i have vista running on xp both the existing install from disc
and sw for vista beta
in fact sw for vista was a bigger headache than running xp in sp2 mode
its slow but not unworkable

I do regret installing Vista, and I am very glad my new laptop came with XP and they only mailed me Vista later (which I am not going to install now).
On the plus side, Vista looks nice and cleans up some XP user interface nasties.
