Anyone having problems opening/running the DVD? My DVD player does not recognize it?

..

Had to use the CD's,.. installed and asked for the new search thingy NOT be installed,... well, I launched 2007 and guess what,.. the search thingy is still there... and guess what else 2007 crashed! What a sweet POS!

Re-launched, and it seems to work but search thingy still is there.

Then I wanted to install the DWG thingy,.. it ask for disk 1 and guess what,... it won't install, it does not recognize CD disk 1!?!?! WHAT A POS!!

$W Corp is like AutoDe$k all over again!!

..

Also, I have to note,.. in the packaging is a green graph paper note pad (~50 sheets),...???

Plus,.. marketing propaganda printed on it,.. It says: "Design better products"? And: "Refer a friend to SolidWorks"

Why do I need a this, to design product on and too sketch my design intent??!!!??? WTF!?!?!?!!?

WHAT A WASTE OF PAPER!!!

Hey Paul,

It seems like you have bigger problems. I installed from the DVD on both the desktop and laptop without a hitch..

Actually, my DVD player works perfectly, it's SW Corps DVD.

..

Odd!

I got mine today. The pseudo spindle in both boxes ( I got to open two licenses) had let go of the CDs and they were just rattling around in the case.

I read through the highlights. One or two things might interest me. The rest are curiosities. 3D sketcher relations are one of those things. I'll have to give equal a try for modeling the edges of a platonic solid.

Just in case their is a problem with the DVD or software, SW has included a nifty alternative design pad :-} Did the 2007 kit include a mechanical drafting pencil and eraser?

The pad was not in one box I opened.

It may be there to had heft to the box. Much cheaper than a real What's New printing.

Hahah Not totally true - at least autodesk had a 2d editor that actually works . . .

My dvd was working just fine, but I had to reinstall but I needed to get a rewinder before I could get it done . . .

Later,
