SW 2008 x32 on vista x32
(OP)
Hi all.
I'm using Solidworks to design machines like case erector and case packers,my assemblies are large and SW(not responding)is showing up frequently, I need to wait like 3-5 min, I don't know the reason, I already try several approachse without success so I'm reporting here , maybe someone can at least point me a direction to a solution.
In this case I have 3 subassemblies in flexible so I can simulate the machines movements.
I can open the assembly and rotate it very well.. problems occurs when I start editing parts and rebuilding it.
some times (very remotely) the screen inside SW turn black in drawings.
1521 mates are evaluated when rebuild
parts: 2142
sub-assemblies: 425
maximum depth: 6
number of top level components: 11
number of top level mates: 27
number of bodies: 2469
OS. Vista Ultimate x32 SP1
SolidWorks office premium SP 3.0 x32
Proc: AMD 64 x2 dual core 5000+
nvidia FX7950 softmoded in Quadro FX 3500 drive 7.15.11.7551
Ram: 4x 1GB
Files are not local.

Your files do not look that large. Make sure there are not errors, springs, or lead screws. Clean your temp files and defrag your system. Set your virtual memory to twice your RAM, both the same. I see your Ram: 4x 1GB. I suppose you have 4 sticks of 1 GB each. Windows 32 bit will not see 4 GB. Only run SolidWorks.
If those things do not work, upgrade to x64 and get 6 GB's of memory.

The soft-modding of the VC could be a part of the problem.
Copy the files onto your machine to eliminate any network bottlenecks.

I did also wath CorBlimeyLimey said and it didn't change the problem.
I notice that when it's (not responding) the cpu used keeps in 55% and when it comes back to normal the cpu used drops to 5%. I think SW is overloading one core of the cpu. any other ideas?

Also, working across a network is, usually, more of a pain and tends to be slower than working locally.

I really appreciate all the help but I still doesn't know what to do.
