Solidworks 2003, seems does not like me! Help!
(OP)
After a "complicated" rendering(i'm cheating, actually, a tooth brush), my lovely Solidworks was crashed, than guess what? Solidworks can not show any more, even after i remove the Solidworks and reinstalled it.
When i click Solidworks button, Solidworks poped up a dialog and showes:
Error signature
AppName: sldworks.exe AppVer: 11.10.0.201 ModName: mfc42u.dll
ModVer: 6.0.8665.0 Offset: 00017103
.........
What is that?!
Please help!!!

RE: Solidworks 2003, seems does not like me! Help!
Generally when you see this error its when a User has an “old version of the mfc42.dll file (caused when another app is installed that overwrites the dll. This can also be caused by Anti-virus software running while SolidWorks is installed (A/V software prevents Solidworks installer from overwriting the .dll)
Seeing as you say that the app was running prior to the crash, I am going to assume that somehow your mfc43.dll was corrupted in the process.
Try following the "Clean reinstall process" as explained in the FAQ's in this forum. (FAQ559-488) Make sure that you have any antivirus software disabled (especially those that have script blockers.)
Give that a try and let me know how that goes.

Make a new Folder on your Root of C: (EX: C:\Backup) and in SW, setup the location to that folder. Turn your Changes down to like 5 when setting up the Backup options in SW. The Changes doesn't mean when you actually make 5 changes to the model. It means when you 5 rebuilds.

I have heard that in training as far as rebuilds but I do not think this is right or we have our system set different than yours
RE: Solidworks 2003, seems does not like me! Help!
1) I opened a new part and saved the file. = No Backup
2) I extruded a boss = No Backup
3) I cut a ole in the boss = No Backup
4) I extruded a feature off the boss = No Backup
5) Saved the file = No Backup
6) Rebuilt the file 3 times either with a ctrl-Q or the rebuild icon = 1 Backed up file.
If you have the setting "number of backup copies per document set to 1 - It will only make one backup of that file, at one time.
What don't you think is right? They way it's done, or the way you think it should be done?
It's been like this since day one and hasen't changed since I've been using SW and that's been awhile. Unless someone is aware of something else? Anyone want to nibble on this?

I was referring to changes in the model as opposed to rebuilds for the number of changes for a backup. Three of us sat here yesterday and would make one or two changes (not even the three which was the default for backups) and hit save. The backup directory would update and a new time would appear for the backup. It doesn't work just hitting rebuilds, for whatever reason. Did you hit F5 to refresh your directory?
