Solidworks Unhandled Error

[miduri]

When using "smart dimension" with solidworks they software crahses, displaying the message "Solidworks has terminated due to an unhandled error.

I loaded the software on another PC and it runs fine, both pc's are Dells running Windows XP Pro both about 1 year old.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a corrupt install on your machine. Try a clean uninstall and then reinstall, being sure antivirus software is disabled.

Thanks for your info,

Tried that many times, but still getting the same error.

Anyother suggestions?

Are both PCs running the same SP?

Do both have the same specs? (video card/driver, etc)

NO! The PC that works is running Windows XP Home with an on board video.

The PC that I am having problems is running Windows XP Pro witn a nVidia video card.

When you did the "clean uninstal & re-install" did you do so per faq559-488 and/or

What version & SP of SW?
XP Pro SP1 or SP2?
Which nVidia card & which driver?

I guess you got it running since we have not heard from you or you got offended and left?
