I can't get Solidworks (2015 Pro) to accept variables or equations. Trying to enter an equation gets nothing - no action, no response, nothing. Trying to enter Global Variables is the same.

That’s an old release.
Did it work for several years and now something has changed to break the functionality?
Do you have MS Excel installed on this machine?
What version of Windows OS?
You have reported three different issues in two different discussion threads.
I am trying to determine if SolidWorks 2015 worked fie on this machine for several years and now suddenly something has changed and it doesn’t work correctly?
or
Did this functionality never work - even when it was first installed several years ago?
In other words, is this a new problem or is it an old problem that was never resolved years ago?

I used Solidworks 2011 for years. Bought upgrades thru 2015 when I retired, but never bothered to install them until installing 2015 last fall when I got a new computer (Computer Upgrade King, I7-9700K CPU, 16GB RAM, GeForce GTX-1070Ti, Windows 10 Pro). Everything seemed to work fine, but lately I've found that I can't create variables, equations don't work, and neither do tutorials. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Solidworks twice, to no avail.

So, it sounds like something has changed.
Just to verify, are you certain that Materials, Equations and Tutorials worked after install last fall, or is this the first time you have tried to use these particular functions in this install?
Do you have MS Excel installed on this machine (and run at least once)?
Also, what Service Pack of 2015?
Have you gone through the built-in tutorial on Equations? It is in the Advanced Techniques section.
