    Hello,

    When I try running SW Student Edition 2005-06, I get an error message:

    "Failed to initialize Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)."

    Then SW terminates. A Windows XP message appears:

    Error signature
    AppName: sldworks.exe
    AppVEr: 13.3.1.110
    ModName: sldappu.dll
    ModVer: 13.3.1.110
    Offset: 000ac1c0

    I've tried using this command in Run...:

    regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\oleaut32.dll

    But still the same problem. I've also tried uninstalling and
    reinstalling SW. Any advice on how to resolve this problem?

    I'm thinking about reformatting my computer to be the only solution.

    My first post indicates that I'm using Win XP.

    Anyways, I just formatted my computer; now it works. Thanks everyone
    for their replies!
