Solidworks failing to startup
Solidworks failing to startup
(OP)
Hi all,
I've been trying to start up solidworks (2011), but every time it gets to the splash screen, the splash screen says on for 10 seconds then it disappears, then nothing, completely dead.
Anyone experienced this before?

I've already looked into that, but there was nothing running. I may have to do a reinstall. :(

SWx was running fine yesterday.

Enter the registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software and rename SolidWorks to SolidWorks-OLD (any name is OK), and close registry. When SW is started it will re-write the registry key. If that works, the "OLD" key can be removed.
WARNING: This will reset SW back to a default install. All customizing will be lost.

Didn't know about the clean uninstall, I couldn't actually open any SW apps, I just uninstalled straight from add/remove programs.
Thanks
