repeated crashing of 2011 assembly files

Not even where to start this converstaion.

I am using Solidworks 2011 on my work and home machines. I did not get the service agreement so I have no access to service packs. Kinda like buying a sub standard product and being held over the barrel to get something that works.

I am experiencing repeated master assembly crashes. I can't tell you how many times I have just rebuilt an assembly. Then an hour later have that new assembly crash and burn like the one it was replacing. A note, these are the crash and burn variety that just say contact your reseller. Great. Got a project due monday and I am working at home.....hello reseller.

In general I suspect mates but I have no way of knowing where  the problems lie.

I am working on Win 7 and XP Pro, home and work. Same results both systems.

Is Solidworks just that cloogy?

Does anyone have any inkling as to what could be the problems.

Beyond frustration
