Every time I attempt to render any part in SW (final render, preview window, ...etc) the system become unresponsive. When I click render, the status bar in the bottom left hand corner of the window says that it is transferring the model information to Photoview360, but then freezes, and after a few minutes simply reverts back as if I never asked for a render. I know its not the part files because I send them to another computer on the network, and they render perfectly. The most annoying thing is that everything worked fine before I updated to SW2012.
I have run the Solidworks Rx and it tells me my graphics card and driver are supported, as well as everything else. I have uninstalled SW 2012 and reinstalled it, and still the problem remains. The only other thing I can think of is to reinstall my Windows OS, but being on a corporate computer network, that is a pain. Has this happened to anyone before? Are theyre any other steps I can take to solve this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Before reinstalling Windows I would use solidworks RX and problem capture and send the RX file to your VAR they should be able to help out.
