Hello everyone, I have recently re-installed SW 2009 SP4.1 onto my computer. It worked fine before I used the Copy Settings Wizard to restore my previous settings. Once I had restored the settings everytime I go to open SW it crashes when the opening picture comes up on the screen. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening??
Cheers.
What happens if you reset the SolidWorks registry?
How do you do this? And will it affect any of my companies models if I do so?
Go to Run and type regedit. This will open up the registry editor. Nowgo to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>SolidWorks. Right click on "SolidWorks" key and click "Rename", type in "SolidWorks Old" andhitenter. This is to make sure you don't loss anything. Now close theregistry editor and start SolidWorks. SolidWorks should be reset to factory default settings.
I'll advice you to ask your IT folks to reset the registry for you. Also it will not affect your files.
