I'm having the same problem as John C: program stalls,
"notresponding" in task manager, application window blanks,
thenkicks in again after 5-15 seconds. Its more frequent when
usingMasterCAM. I've tried changing the mouse driver, no luck.
Alsodifferent versions of the video driver for my NVidia GeForce
7600GT (the version specified on the SolidWorks website), still
noluck. Adjusted the video settings to lowest, still no luck.
Theonly thing that works is UN-installing the video driver and
usingthe windows default video driver which works but
gives poorquality.
I'm really stuck, anyone else using this card?

I had the same problem on my box (Intel dual core, nVidia Quadro FX 1500, 2GB RAM, etc). First I experienced this 'stalling' in 2008 Beta and then in Pre and afterwards it happened also in SW 2007 which was working previously without a hitch. It usually happened when the cursor was hovering above the file pull-down menu area in 2008 or while clicking on the pull-down menus on 2007. Also other problems were showing: crashing while printing or using Print Preview, crashing while inserting in-context parts etc. It was a big drama ))):- and I hassled also the 2008 Beta help a lot. Finally we ended up with a new clean installation (hard drive re-formatting, new Windows install etc) and since then (touch wood) everything is working fine. The box is not even 1 year ol but I think due to the many install-uninstalls the SW registry developed a few problems and there was no any other way out but a clean install.
Good luck!
