Problem opening drawing files

    I have just installed SW x64 on a new dell M90 with windows x64.
    When I open a drawing it automatically opens all the parts and
    assemblies also. (never did this before)
    when I arrange windows and select the drawing, it opens everything
    again. I cannot select the drawing window
    for some reason.

    any ideas?

    thx,

    Check Tools/Options/System Options/External References. "Load referenced
    documents" should be on "None" to match the way it used to work. It sounds
    like it got reset to "All"
    If you have a lot of windows open, or if you're using a lot of memory, or
    for reasons I don't understand, SW sometimes has trouble selecting a window.
    Sometimes you can close down the windows you don't need and get down to a
    number where SW can get it straight again.
