SolidWorks Empty Screen, Windows 8.1 Bootcamp

Hi all!

This is my first post here, so I apologize beforehand for any faux pas. I am running the following configuration:

  • System:   15" Macbook Pro Retina 2013, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA graphics card
  • OS:          Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, running on Bootcamp, 100GB partition
  • SW:         SolidWorks Education Edition 2013-2014 SP5.0, server license

I installed the software about two months ago and all was working well. Then about a week ago, I started having an issue where the actual workspace window is not visible. The toolbars at the top and the bottom are visible and active still. When I hover over the icon in the Windows start bar, a preview pops up and that does show the workspace window. The workspace, although transparent, is still there, as I cannot click anything on the desktop behind the empty pane.

I have tried rebooting, reinstalling SW SP3.0, re-upgrading to SP5.0 and searching the web. Any ideas for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Will
