When I start Solidworks the program gets to the point in loading where it appears ready for use but as soon as I try to do anything the program freezes up and task manager reports "not responding". This only happens the first time I start the program after booting up the computer. If I "end process" and start SW again it fires right up as if nothing were wrong at all.

I am running SW2010 SP2.1 and this problem started a day or two after the renewel date for the annual support package with my VAR which I had decided NOT to renew this year. Any connection there? Any ideas or suggestion about how to resolve this?

Thanks.
