Our company has recently upgraded a few machines with newworkstation laptops. Prior to upgrading most designers were havinglots of regular crashes which seemed to happen at random. Upgradingall machines to the same spec meant now we are able to narrow downwhy these machines keep crashing.
We can now rule out poor machine specs as the reason sessions werecrashing as these machines are Dell Precision M6300's. (IntelExtreme/4Ghz/FX1600M).
Since upgrading, there are generally 3 ways people use Solidworks(32 Bit XP Installs);
1. Sole installation ( i.e only 2006, 2007, or 2008)
2. Multiple Installation, but only one used at a time.
3. Multiple Installation + Multiple versions open at once.
It seems that those using a sole install have far less crashes thanothers with multiple versions.
Have others also experience this?
We've been told there is no issue running parallel versions ofsolidworks however it would seem like installing and running asingle version is the most stable way to go.
