SW Task Scheduler messes up SW Settings

Don't know about the setting overwrite. If it is changing reg settings then it is likely it creates a backup, runs sw, then restores them. Perhaps the restoration is going bad. Do you have some anti-badware software running that it might be getting caught up on?

For notes: tools -> options -> system options tab -> colors -> text ->

I do have an anti-spyware/ anti-virus software running, so I guess that is possible that it is blocking it.

As for the colors, I already have those options set to Black (the default). But for some reason Solidworks keeps making the Dimensions Red. And I can't see any way to force it to Black again. Even though that is what's selected. Very strange.

SW07 sp2.0

I ran the Update Properties, but canceled out of it. When I opened SW again, my background colors settings, and several others, possibly everything, was set back to defaults.

Do you have more info on this?

No, I don't. And I can't report it either because the customer portal isn't working for me! So if you can, report it.

Sorry I couldn't offer more help,

Did you kill the process before it was finished?

Did you have to start the swBOEngine.exe manually or does it start automatically?

Had you previously tried to run the task without the swBOEngine.exe running?

Had you disabled the swBOEngine.exe as a startup process?

I had done all of these things. I'm just trying to see if it is repeatable without doing violence to my system a second time.

I never canceled the process. I ran it normally everytime. Actually I haven't used task scheduler in over a month. Sorry I'm not more help, I just haven't had time to work on it.

This isn't unique to SW2007, or task scheduler. I have this happen often (3-4 times a week). I have no idea why it happens. Could be due to a crash (SW ctd's several times a day at best (worst??)). SW2006 Sp
