2007 crash crash crash

I keep getting a CTD with a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
runtime error dialog.
I get two dialogs that say the same thing and then a CTD.

 

bob z. just installed swx2007 at home (to test before installing at
work). the microsoft dot net framework failed to install and swx CTD's
instantly - every time. bob z. knows this doesn't help you, but just
thought he would share some of the calamity.

a reboot (or two) and a repair of existing installation AND a critical
patch update for m$ dot net still has not resolved this issue.

is product activation at fault? how does good ol' bob z. go about
doing the product activation? swx won't stay running long enough to
find a button that says, "click me for activation!"

bob z.
p.s. what do you do for money, honey? where do you get your kicks?

 

Someone on the SW corp forum was saying that they were getting the
Runtime error in 2007 when they were using a spaceball. Unloading the
drivers stopped them. Maybe 3DConnexion needs to get updated drivers for
2007 now.

 

I don't have a spaceball.
nuts.

 

It happens randomly, but now I have one assembly that it is repeatable.
Open asm, right click on part, select open part, POOF

 

It only repeated if the part is lightweight, if I resolve it I can get
it open.
My handicap is down to a 47 now.

 

The first thing I do when trying to decipher stuff like that is to turn off
all add-ins and then try loading again.

I already tried that.

I got it to work for awhile by selecting a different config, but now
that doesn't work.

Things are griding to a halt, lets see, if I restore my backups and
lose 4 days work .... I can make it up over the holiday weekend!!!!!!!

 

You have a repeatable assy - can you send it to me with the parts and I will
try it on mine. I have not seen the problem with 2007. Have you Rx'd that
file and sent it to your VAR?
WT

 

Yea, all that.
There are working on it.
I would send it to you but its big.
Might as well go home now and get a ride in... I will be busy catching
up this weekend if I can get it working.
Man, I never would install SP0, but things went soooo welllll for the
first 3 days and gosh all those new functionabnormalites.
If only I would have been as lucky as bob z.
I wonder what bob z. thinks of the whole beta - release process.
How could they release something if even one beta bugger had a
breakdown such as this?

 

Theres also a 2007SP0 Fix on the download area that has something to do
with parts loading lightweight and messing up properties in configurations.

 

Go to the task manager and kill process Windows Search Indexer. I have
had it cause SolidWorks to crash upon start.

Could also be the automatic email feature if you don't use Outlook. I
use Mozilla Tbird and sometimes on install the switch gets thrown, even
though I tell it not to. You have to go into the registry to turn it off.

 

New to this game, what is a CTD?
Thanks

 

Never mind, got it, Crash to Desktop, figures

 

I didn't install the desktop search thing. hmmm..... it just seems
like one of those enhancements none of us needed enhanced.
I didn't turn on the performance reporting thing.
Is anybody using a Microsoft Sidewinder Commander with SW2007?
I am going to try to uninstall that.
We are gonna try uninstall/clean registry/reinstall SW2007 fresh if
that doesn't work, even though that has never fixed any problem in the
history of SW.

 

Actually it is more properly CTDT. Search the NG with Google and you
will find a lot of them.

 

I'm not an IT guy, and just want to WORK. I have no time to or
intention of studying 266 pages or 566 pages of pdfs on how to tweak,
reset, edit Registries, use VM on separate partitions, etc. just to
keep SolidWorks running half way OK.

Hence, to keep SWks working right w/o problems, I have had to keep my
SolidWorks off the internet, and the following is what I do. It has
virtually eliminated CTDT.

1. Load a fresh clean XP2 installation on a new hard drive
2. Go online behind a firewall & good malware program like Bit
Defender Pro if you must get XP2 updates, and then get off & stay off.
3. I install SolidWorks and the very few utilities I need (MSOffice,
SnagIT, Winzip)
4. I don't connect to my network, either, because FireWire hard drives
and USB flash keys have made file transfers unnecessary.

This type of procedure means you don't screw up your prior installs or
data, so you NEVER screw up existing work in progress, while you test
out a new version of SolidWorks.

give it a rest, jughead, we're sick of your same old story. windows
isn't as hard as you say, and mac sucks just as much, it just has less
scrutiny because of its tiny market share.

 

Actually it nolonger e-mails. 2007 uses an web based system for
sending these now so e-mail is no-longer an issue.
