solid works 2007 memory/system problem
(OP)
I am running s/w 2007 on XP and when I bought faster machine about a year ago my 90meg drawings loaded faster. however something has drastically changed and I keep running out of memory and loosing all my changes.If I open the task manager and then go into a drawing to modify it I notice the memory climbing from say 250 meg to 1.68 gig and then it crashes, and when I look in the applications folder I see 2 s/w applications have opened and both say not responding. Yet on my old slower machine doing the same task the memory never gets above 50% of the start memory. Any Ideas as to what's going on??

Make sure you open one session of SWX and then open your files from within SWX, not by double-clicking on the filename in Windows Explorer. This might be why there are multiple sessions of SWX running, both consuming resources.
You should also investigate using the /3GB switch. There are arguements for and against using this. When I finally got it set up properly I did not have any problems, but I've had a 64-bit machine for awhile now and don't have to worry about that switch.
