How to Stop Crashing

For a long time I have had Solidworks (2003 all service packs)crash



2-4 times a day, then go for a few days with no problems & just as suddenly return to the crash scene. The crashes can happen while in a complex assembly,adding a centre-line to a drawing or just trying to save.

Believe it or not, since installing Microsoft Flight Simulator on my computer over a month ago I have only crashed twice & I can certainly live with that.



Go flying


Richard Bremner quipped:

well, considering that half of all crashes are directly attributable to your MS operating system, that's probably not too bad.

Now, when you say MS flight Sim, do mean the full version, or the version in MSOffice (I think it was in '97)?

:-)

-nick e.

but the big question is--

are you crashing SW less because of the installation, or because you're now playing Flight Sim so much that you don't have as much time to "play" with SW?

I am using a Compaq Evo N800v laptopP4 1.7 with 512 mb the video card is an ATI Radeon 7500, Windows XP pro SP1 & I have tried stand alone as well as networked. The other computer in the office is a P4 1.7, 1 gb, XP pro with a quadro card & it also crashes quite often - but it doesn't now have the benifit of flight sim 2002. I believe that one or more of the programs loaded on the computers has installed dll or something that is older than the one required by solidworks & installing flight has has replaced that or those files.
