As reported, the issue only started after installation of eDrawings 2014. All previous versions are fine but unable to open the files saved using the latest Solidworks 2014.

OS:Windows 7, SP01, 64bit

Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD6450

I've attempted the following, but still getting simliar APPCrash problem:

- Installed 64 bit version

- Uninstalled 64 bit version and install 32 bit version

- Run with video card driver from Microsoft's library - Version 9.12.0.0

- Upgraded video card driver and install latest stable driver / software suite from AMD - Version 13.12

- Uninstalled driver / software suite from AMD and install latest beta drive from AMD - Version 14.2 beta

Here's the problem details from the trial on x86 version with Microsoft's driver.
