Unknown Error Opening File 2

[SapnaJP]

I am running 2006 and am having a problem opening existing files. When I create a part or assembly I am able to save to our server but when opening the part/assembly at a later date I get an error message that says "Unknown error opening(file name) and the program crashes. When I log in to my computer using a different user account I am successfully able to open all files. It is just within my user name that I cannot access any parts. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I tried uninstalling and installing SolidWorks again but it did not fix the problem. Is there a file that is related to the one user name that can be erased, that will purge the preferences or whatever may be causing this occurrence?

SapnaJP,
Let’s see if this fixes it. Double click “MyComputer” icon. RMC on “Local Disk (C RMC properties and see is what is under Group or user name:. Also check to see if you have full control. If you do not have full control, get it.

Bradley,

I do have full control. I went to properties under Local Disk (C but there is no Group or User name option.

Sounds like you have a corrupt Login account in Windows. Have your IT make you a second profile on your computer and test it then... if the problem goes away like it did when you use someone else's log in, then the answer is right there... its your Windows login account.

Scott,

We did create another profile and the problem did go away. I'm just curious to know what caused this problem initially, how can I be sure it doesn't happen again - is it's SolidWorks related or just Windows related?

Sapna,
This happened to me when I logged onto an associates computer as me to install and setup SolidWorks. Our IT guys had to rebuild the system to get the other user to work. I did do the same thing to another user 2 days before without problems.

I will never ever again install SolidWorks while I am logon to my network login. I always have the user logon now. Never had a problem since.
