can't open solidworks now, why?

I have been using solidworks for years. Due to economic situations we did not renew our subscription. My problem is that when I try to open solidworks now, i get an error. It says"The volume name, directory name, or volujme label syntax is incorrect." Then when I hit "OK" it says "Could not load Solidworks DLL: slduiu.dll." and then does not load. Anyone know why this could be? I have done nothing different. Our service subscription has not been renewed for a couple years so that's not it. I even tried to reload from disc, but that did not change anything. Thanks Dan

Loading thread data ...

Sounds like the HDD partition is shot. Time to reformat and redo your system.

Does any other programs open?

Is your temp folder full or do you empty it periodically this can cause funny problems if you don't clean it out.

In my startup, I put an "efface.bat" :

del C:\WINNT\Temp\*.* /s /Q

Cleaning at startup...

Create the batch file (as a *.txt file, rename to *.bat), and put it (or a shortcut) in your "startup" folder

It should look like : C:\Documents and Settings\jmbrun\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Démarrage

Where: "jmbrun" is your login "menu démarrer" is "startup menu" (or close)

and so on...

Then every time you reboot your machine, it will run the batch. And I advise to reboot once every week at least.
