Hoping someone can provide a little direction to abigproblem. My son attends a vocational/technical high schoolinDenver Colorado. They are using SW2008 educational editiononnew Dell Optiplex 745's with ATI Radeon X1300Pro video cards.
Unfortunately, they also operate their network usingNovellnetworking (I don't know much about more about thenetwork).
Apparently all the students are experiencing frequent SWsoftware"hangs" that require killing SW from the taskmanager. I knowthat the video card is not certified and thatNovell networks arenot recommended by SW but given the schoolspolicies, these thingscan not be changed.
I am looking for some possible solutions beyond what we willtryin the next few days. I plan to have a user "borrow'alicense using the LM license software to try runningSWtotally disconnected from the network.
I also am going to ask them to upgrade the video driver tothelatest one available from ATI (driver 8.421) instead of thecurrentdriver 8.263.
Any more ideas on how to diagnose the Solidworks hangs? Arethere any log files that are generated during a SW session thatIcan view to diagnose the problem?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
