Hello all!
I am new to SolidWorks and have been trying to run through some of the tutorials within the application, but I keep getting met with the software crashing.
After clicking New>Part>Extrude Boss/Base>Top Plane the software crashes and redirects me to the crash report application.
I am running SolidWorks Professional 2017 on a Dell Inspiron. Here are the specs of my laptop:
-Intel i5-7200U @ 2.5GHz
-8Gb Ram
-64bit windows 10 OS
-SSD
If you have any tips or solutions for me to try, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks
Hi MIchael,
Try opening SOLIDWORKS, leave all files closed, then go to 'Tools', 'Options', 'System Options', 'Performance', where you would then enable "Use Software OpenGL". Once enabled check the file again and see if things don't get better.
