SLDWORKS.EXE still shows in Task Manager

Below is another post from our esteemed IT genius, Boy "Radeon" Wonder. Lets call him "Jordan", just for fun.

The copied post below seems to say he was having some problems with crashing SolidWorks. Again, true to form, blaming his incompentence on someone else. Isn't it great to live in a free country? It couldn't be that those Radeons were causing an epidemic of crashes like they do for other folks? I thought he said he had not had trouble with crashing SolidWorks.

Jordan has a lot of questions. He's always out trying to get answers from other people, not giving answers, or not giving right ones anyway. I thought he was certified on everything under the sun, but it turns out he's just bumming help from real IT people.

We are using a license auditing program KeyServer. Basically it works by seeing what tasks are running on the PC and locks notes it on the license managing server.

Lately I have been seeing a lot of licesnes being tied up on the server

saying that SolidWorks is running on some workstations. When I go to the workstations SW is closed, but if I [CTRL]&[ALT]&[DEL] and open the Task Manager I can see that SLDWORKS.EXE is still running in the list of processes. I can end the process on the workstation and free the license, but that is an annoyance.

Is this a problem with SW2004 SP2.1?

There were problems like this with 2004. For some reason it would spawn two processes sometimes killing the extra one, sometimes not. I haven't seen it much in the later 2004 service packs.

Wow, there you go again blabbering on like an idiot. I don't see anywhere in that post a single mention of SW crashing on me nor do I see any mention of the Radeons there either. Don't you think people can read and see that you are a fool.

from other people, not giving answers, or not giving right ones anyway.

Follow up:

Why don't you also post the response from all the other non-Radeon users from that 2 year old thread like the one from Per O. Hoel ==== "In my opinion, it is not a "problem" isolated to SolidWorks 2004, SP2.1 I have used the program over many years and the possible presence of a ghost image of SolidWorks is not just a recent characteristic." ===

So it was not a Radeon issue then was it you fool. Why blame the issue on Radeon when you just read in that thread that other non-Radeon users said it was a problem that SW had for years no matter if SW closed properly or crashed.

Just keep them coming. I am really starting to feel bad about this now because you are making it so easy for me Mr. "I don't know what a UNC is"

All of the responses to your post were that the symptoms you were having were due to SW crashes. Your favored Radeon is a popular source of crashing with SolidWorks. In fact, aside from bad installs, the Radeon card in specific is probably the #2 source of crashes.

Why do you come in here asking for help, get it, and then argue with SW users about things you don't know anything about?

Your buddy,

Roland.

Per was saying that he had this problem with multiple versions of SW. Radeons aren't the only source of crashes, there are others. People who crash for reasons other than having a Radeon would see the same problem with the license manager. He doesn't say it happens "no matter if SW closed properly or crashed", he says "when it crashes or is otherwise IMproperly shut down". Again, the reading thing. You finished high school, right? Crashes cause the license manager to hang onto licenses. Radeons are not recommended for SW. UNC does not equal Folder Name. Simple stuff you just don't get.

We know you had problems because you are using SolidWorks and have Radeons.

So by "improperly shut down" do you think he meant the engineers were to stupid to press the little X up in the corner of the window? I think "improperly" shut down is clearly SW screwing up, not the engineers.

Glad to see you asked an IT guy what it meant. Unfortunately I never said it did or still can't you read. Still trying to weasel out of shooting your mouth off like an idiot and not knowing what a UNC was.

Two years ago the computers had RAGE 128 dumb @$$. There you go blabbering on and on and on like an idiot. In your next post you will probably say the Rage 128 cards were 3rd worst problems for SW because you already accused installs and Radeon as being number 1 and 2.

Again, this is too easy because you just open your mouth without thinking. Take a day or two off and gather your thoughts Jr. and then come back. Yes that was a reference to me being older than you kiddo.

Try to keep to one thread. Look in the other genious and you will see that you are shooting your mouth off again without even knowing what is going on. FYI, those cards were Rage 128 at the time. Let me guess, even worse right???

So since Installs were number 1 and Radeon was #2 problems then Rage 128 was #3. Where can I find those statistics again? Oh, you just pulled them out of your @$$.

Oh, well, THERE's an improvement. You don't need me to tell you that the Rage and the RagePro were also shit game cards, definitely on the bad list for SolidWorks. Along with the Viper, and I forget how many other cards from that 97-01 vintage, ATI didn't have the corner on the shit game card market. I see a pattern here. Cheap shit game cards in engineering machines. The worst part of it is that people have told you this before and you haven't listened then either.

I can't tell you how funny it is to see you in all seriousness write this crap. The future at the engineering department in your company looks rosy, as long as they're playing Half Life and not using SolidWorks.

brainless game punk.

I worked in SW tech support for 5 years. You might think I know what I'm talking about. I helped idiots like you every day. Obviously you're getting the brunt of it because I had to be nice to them. They were generally a lot smarter than you, though.

You know, this is the first game I have played in years and it has to be the easiest. Instead of "Wack a Mole" I will call it "Slap the Weasel". Just find a weasel in a news group who can't keep from shooting his mouth and pulls BS from his own @$$ and just keep showing the group what a fool the weasel is.

I can't believe the Rage (pardon the pun) at my successfully using these cards in a manor that I need. Why the obsession to say something that works just fine does not? Just can't admit that your a fool.

I would think that if the engineers had a problem they would have complained about my computer selection at some point in the past 11 years you dope.

Try to clean it up and keep it in one thread. Yeah, clean it up like you use to clean the Tech Support Department at SolidWorks when you worked there as a Janitor.

Well, now we are getting somewhere. You said you were 31 right and you don't work there now so even if you were at your new job just a year that means SW hires 25 year old kids or younger with no real experience to "support" seasoned professionals. Figures

Guys if you keep up the name calling and slagging you are both going in my blocked senders bin.

Waaah. Imagine you blocking senders. You've had to lay low for a while after some pretty untoward posts of your own a few months ago, if I rememvber correctly.

Not everyone is a seasoned slacker by the time they reach 25, don't judge others by your own underacheivement.
