Error Message

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by plasticmoldedproducts, Mar 17, 2006.

  1. Has anyone had this problem. At SWX startup, I get a message "failed
    to update system registry,try using regedit".
    It would appear that I unknowingly deleted a file in my registry that
    SWX startup is dependant on. For some reason, this problem does not
    affect the way SWX runs, it runs ok. I can get rid of the message
    window and SWX proceeds to install ok. I have allready tried the repair
    utility in control panel without success.
    Does anyone have a fix for this aggrevation I hope?

  2. I saw this "message" on my friend's computer. It asks you to "click" to
    begin "regedit", right? Its a "virus", not a legitimate error message. Run a
    virus scan to delete the faulty files.

  3. No it isn't a virus, there is no asking me to "click to begin regedit",
    the cause of this error message is due to the absence of a small file,
    or registry key that has been deleted in error , but thanks.

  4. Back-up all specific data(Templates, Design Library, etc.) and run the Save
    Settings Wizard to preserve Toolbars prior to running the repair.
