Good morning.  I am fairly new to SW, using it for justover ayear.  The company I work for currently hasapproximately 12seats of SW 2007....all are having SERIOUSperformanceissues...often seeing 4-6 crashes per day.  

Most of our workstations are 64bit....some are higher end32bit. We are seeing similar crashes on both platforms.  

My 64 bit machine is currently being looked at by ourITdepartment....the 32 bit machine I am now using actuallyfunctionsbetter BUT I still get the same errors.  Thismachinesspecifications are as follows:

Microsoft WIndows XP 2002 SP2
HPxw4400 workstation
Intel Core 2pc
6600@2.4ghz
2.00GB ram
Pagefile size is maxed out at 4092
NVIDA quadro Fx 1500

This is a small machine...I don't have the specifications onthe64bit machines currently.

Types of crashes we are seeing are:

opening a single part
opening a assembly
starting solidworks
when creating a sheetmetal edge flange
starting Cosomosworks
creating a mesh in Cosmos on a single part or multiple parts
opening the toolbox
creating a new sketch
editing a sketch
opening the "add-ins" options box
using the measure feature in a model
Runtime Errors
starting Cosmos Express
Checking in files to the vault
creating drawing views
switching from one drawing layout to another
"WARNING: FAILED TO SAVE DOCUMENT"
drawing views disappearing when adding or editing dimensions
adding centerlines to drawings - crashes
performing a cut sweep - crash

I think you now understand, SW will crash at any moment,under mostany circumstances....without warning.   Itdoesn't matterif we have a single simple part open, or a largeassembly. 

I have contacted our IT department, and our SW distributorand havetried to work with both with no results.  

"the computers are fine".....

"the software is fine"....  



Is anyone else seeing such poor stability ???
