sketch relations issue

My solidworks crashed to the desktop yesterday afternoon after trying
to insert a feature pallete feature... when i went back into
solidworks, my sketch relation box refuses to open up, so i have to
manually (right-click) and place my relationships... I thought that it
might be a corrupt part that may be making solidworks act funny but i
have started new parts and it still wont open up when i select
objects... Does any one know of a fix, a switch i gotta flip, or
something to get this to come back on? if so, please let me know...
thanks...

This is likely a registry glitch. I you know how to use regedit then
try the following:

Backup this key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2006

and then delete it and reboot. This should rebuild the registry folder
you deleted and fix the problem.

Use regedit.

 

I had something similar a year ago, nothing helped until i restarted and
did a harddisk scan and repair.
windows found the corrupt files and repaired them.
in sw the files were ok after that.

good luck.
