    I have an odd problem.

    I have all of my drawings on a network server. My computer is connected
    wirelessly (is that a word?). I can't open the file from the server however
    I can copy it to my computer and open it fine. Also, the icon of the file
    on the server is the same as a notepad file. If I copy the file to my
    computer, the normal SW icon appears.

    Is there some data transmission rate problem that isn't letting me work with
    the files from the server?

    Oh boy, now I have a new problem. I close SW and then try to reopen and it
    tells me I already have a session of SW's runnning and it cannot create a
    journal. Crap... somethings wrong! Help!

    Reboot doesn't help.
    After reboot, the initial opening is okay. Beyond that, I get "A journal
    file cannot be created. Another session of Solidworks may be running on
    this machine".

    I checked the task manager and I have no solidworks processes running.

    There is another seat running on this network and has no problem so I guess
    I need to reinstall. Dammit.
