Cannot browse recent documents

Cannot browse recent documents

Cannot browse recent documents

(OP)
Today is not our day. This 2009 upgrade is hurting.

2009 x64 SP1.0

Whenever any of us goes "file-browse recent documents".. system locks up. Happens to every PC I have tried it on.

^ Odd. I just pressed the "r" key, 10 second pause, then thumbnails of recent documents came up. No lock up.

If I do it the other way, it locks up for good. I waited 15 mins and nothing so I have to reboot everytime I try it haha.

Did a clean install.
Installed from image first, had many problems, deleted SW09 from everyones PC, then reinstalled using DVD.

Mcafee is on and I cannot turn it off.  

RE: Cannot browse recent documents

If I were you, and if you have the choice ... dump McAfee.
It's supposed to be OK for SolidWorks (with the noted exception at http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/AntiVirus_SW.html) but I have had problems with it in the past, and not just with SW.

If you have the time and patience, as a test, delete McAfee from one machine, and do a clean install of SW.

cheers

RE: Cannot browse recent documents

Use something simple like Avast for anti-virus.  McAfee is far too intrusive (in my experience) for business use.

I have no say in what antivirus we have.

I wish.....

whoops. Happens when I press control tab also. Locks it up for 15 mins or so.

I will show this thread to our computer department for the registry thing. Think that's it?

I am not getting into the registry of all these computers.
