SW2009 crashing when New file created.

SW2009 crashing when New file created.

SW2009 crashing when New file created.

(OP)
I've submitted this to my VAR but thought I'd try here also.

Brand new PC, Core 2 Duo E6750, 4GB RAM, FX570/7551 driver
Vista Ultimate x64
MS Office 2007
SW2009 Standard x64
No add-ins
Kaspersky AV was running but sldim.exe was added to the Trusted section when found. (per SPR 397619 and S-018567)

SW opens fine but will crash when File > New (or the icon) is selected.

Usual clean re-install (with AV off) tried with no success.

Any thoughts as to the problem?

cheers

Installing from x64 DVD

Heard anything back from your VAR on that?  Sounds terrible.

Only notified them less than an hour ago, so nothing yet.

RE: SW2009 crashing when New file created.

No problem.  Here's the work-around.  Never touch that button or File > New again, and things should be just fine.  Open an old file, do a Save As Copy, open the copy and delete the features.  Just open that every time you need a new part and you're all set.  pipe

lol I had actually considered that during the fourth re-install.

I have it working now though. I ended up having  to completely un-install SW2009 and Kaspersky and the nVidia driver, and thoroughly cleanse/purge the registry. Somewhere during all that I must have used the right combination of incantations, curses, a few choice  ponder  motivational words, and outright threats of computer mutilation.

Tomorrow I have to install AutoCAD.

shocked I just had a sudden horrible thought. There have been threads about conflicts with SW and AutoCAD. The solution was to load one before the other. Should I have installed AutoCAD first??? Please say no ... lie if you have to.

cheers

No.
