Error when start up Solidworks
Error when start up Solidworks
(OP)
After using SolidWorks 2010 for several months without any trouble I suddenly start to get this message when I try to create or open a part or assembly file. (See attached error message).
In other hand if I first open a drawing file (i.e. an empty drawing template) and then try to open part or assembly file it works OK.
Now I always have to start SW session with opening a .SLDDRW file, not so troublesome but quit curios.
As far as I know I did not make any configuration change to eider Windows Vista or SW when the error started. To me it seems as a Vista problem.
I have un-installed and re-installed SW, still the same.
I am using Vista Business, memory 2048MB. Graphics: 256nVIDA Quatro FX570.
Any idea?

RE: Error when start up Solidworks
Also check your drivers on your video card... they might have been updated with windows if you did any updates. Some times a windows update will change the Graphics card driver.

Any new updates to your computer hardware/software, Windows updates, etc that your IT people have done recently?
