SW Keeps freezing every 30 seconds
SW Keeps freezing every 30 seconds
(OP)
Hello,
I have a problem here at work and my IT guy is stumped at the moment.
As I use SW 2006 SP5.0, the program will freeze up intermittenly for about 15 seconds. If I focus on another open program and then refocus on the frozen SW, the screen goes black and there are random white borders around the now unresponsive SW window.
Has anyone experienced this? I just got a new computer and it is still happening. It happened on my old one too which leads me to believe it is a network problem.
Thanks for the help.
Adam

This happens irregardless of whether or not the network cable is plugged in. It does this to me online and offline.
The following link is to a screen capture during a freeze up:

This sounds a lot like a graphics card problem--what card and drivers are you using?
Also, how are you using the network--only to access SW files? If it's really a network issue, I'd expect it to straighten out when not using the network with SW.

What are the system specs for both machines?
Have you recently updated or upgraded or added any software recently?

RE: SW Keeps freezing every 30 seconds
current specs:
dual core 2.0 Ghz Intel Xeon, 2 gigs ram
past specs:
Dell M90 Latptop with 1 gig ram. I can't remember what the video card was but it was SW rated.
the problem occurs irregardless of whether a file I am working with is located locally on the machine or on the network somwhere.
This problem is occuring on both the old laptop and the newer desktop. I have to believe that it is a problem with SP5.0 becuase I recently upgraded to it and noticed the problems.
I will try and install from the disks which wont be SP5.0 but SP4. something.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm going to try and remove it and see what happens before reinstalling SW.

Make sure that your video card driver is the approved one for SolidWorks, which doesn't necessarily mean the latest driver.
