Are there any issues I should be aware of when running SW on a Dell workstation with Windows XP 64 bits?

I also noticed Draw Compare running along with SW x64. In rest I don't have those terrible problems you have.

Is your SW fresh install or upgrade?
What graphic card do you have?
Was antivirus software disabled when SW was installed?

The problem I was having with SW stopping when opening a drawing of an assembly is gone, at least for now. What I did was to increase virtual memory from 4 GB to 12 GB. Apparently virtual memory should be three times the amount of RAM you have.
 
Brand new machine and its the first install, so no upgrade other than SP's.
Nvidia Quadro FX1500 with the recomended driver, also tried other drivers with the same rusults.
No anti virus installed on this machine...........yet.
4gb ram and I do have a huge virtual mem, but I'll try increasing it.

Im thinking some of the lock ups may be hardware, we had it built locally (AGAINST MY RECOMENDATIONS) to spec's I was quoted from BOXX. I just need to verify its hardware so I can shove the machine back to mngmt. and tell them to deal with it.
Tyhanks for the help.
 
Also I forgot to mention, I have set the open gl software option and there is no change running it that way. It just flat out runs like a dog.
 
One thing I can suggest for now is install SW2007x32 (with its SP) and see if you get the same problems. I have both x32 and x64 installed on my machine and I use mostly x32.
