I recently got a 2011-2012 student version, upgrading from a 2010-2011 version.  When I go to make a template or add the "name" properties it is blank.  My old templates show the name properties as they were but I cannot add any more.  I found the text file on my computer for this but it will not work.  Drawings are very important to learn and I am crippled now in this area.  The other drop down menus work in the properties tab but not the names.   HELP!!!!

Did that and no results.  I notice now that when I have multiple files open Windows 7 is not showing them.  Could this be an OS problem?  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate.  Never had that problem before with it, have used for over a year.

Magic  Its probibly one of two things, or both, non approved video card or low sys memory. What is your video card and how much memory do you have? I have win 7 ultimate and have no problem. I am running Nvidia Quatro 550? -I think- and 4 gig memory. The "?" is for 550.I am not using my laptop right now so I'm not shure of the # designation of my card.

I am running an Nvidia Quadro which is approved for Solidworks.  I made sure of that before I built the system.  I had no problems with the previous student version, only with this one.  Do I need to uninstall previous version?  Perplexed.
