Hi all,

I was recently working on a drawing.  Nothing special, just had two parts open and a drawing and was drawing geometry when an error message came up saying, "An unknown operation was tried" and then my computer shut down.  I have never had a problem like this before.  I have tried to repair the installation with no luck.  Every time I try to create a new part I get the same error message.

"The default templates are not valid.  The problems can be resolved by correcting the default templates under the options dialog.

Do you want to continue with a blank template?"

If I say ok, nothing happens.  I am stuck at the grey startup background.  I have checked to make sure that I am pointing to the right folders for my templates and the default templates are what I want them to be.  Has anyone else had this problem before?

Thanks
