on my pc I have windows seven 64 bit! what version of solidworks can I install? only 64 bits or can I install and use one to 32 without problems? thanks for the help
 
32 if I'm not wrong but sorry if you have a 64 bit why don't you install a 64? ? ?
 
Good evening to both of you,
the fact of using solidworks 32 or 64 bits should arise from a real need for volume and complexity of geometry. in practice you have that:

in 32bit everything works, compatible all in all versions on all 32-bit systems
in 64bit does not work everything, there are incompatibilities between solid version and win version...but bug fixes are always updated

However,

in 32bit everything turns slower, you can use little ram while in 64bit push what you want.

stefano, in particular, if you have windows x64 it would be better to use solidworks x64 even if you can install the 32bit version on a 64bit operating system thanks to the native emulation of windows. the opposite is not possible.

good installation

in my office I have mixed versions and os: xp32 - xp64 - seven64. bugs I found do not depend at all on the 64-bit version as I find them identical on machines with xp 32. I use mostly 64-bit versions and I find that stability is almost identical, of course if with 32 you remain within the limits of complexity manageable with a 32.
in my opinion these differences could be noted with 2008 or the very first versions of 2009, but already from the last service packs of 2009 versions enjoy the same stability.
 
I encountered problems with the 2009 version sp0 and sp1 on windows 7 x64 especially with photoview... updated... all past.
 
Bye to all,
reconnecting me to some other posts is evaluating the fateful passage.. - We're in the case.

In the office, however, we have a tide of 32-bit native and living programs (sometimes freeware and sometimes paid fior of money es mathcad) and sometimes managed by servers to distribute licenses).

- Does anyone have practical experience with xpmode?
- xpmode draws on server licenses?

- last but not least embarrassing:
we have office 2003. Do you have to change that?
"I think it would be impossible for solidworks to invoke excel through xpmode"


Has anyone been burned yet? from us the risk is to put a badge and blush because you have not remembered everything.

Thank you for your help,
dancer

I will be obliged to change.
I think in the change I will lose autocadlite 2006 (on view it does not work on 7 I don't know) and office.
before buying a new office copy I will try with openoffice and its macros (see that cmq do not use massively excel).
What will concern me most will be the plotter:/
 
Hi.
I am verifying the operation of solidworks 2010 on a machine with windows 7 64 bit and the program crashes if I try to create a design (it provides a generic error and closes the program) with a power user. if I use a user administrator the program does not give any error.
on pc with windows xp 32 bits this problem is not there.
Has anyone faced this problem?
Unfortunately at company level users must have the power user rights and the issue is getting edgy. the retailer said that the program should only be used with a user who has administrator rights, it seems strange to me that there can be no solution.

It's just like that, and it's always been like this, if you don't have the privileges, and you can just read and write nothing goes... was so already with sw2006
 
I had to "push" an old designjet 350 c that still worked well (I still use it with the last surviving xp32).
xp mode is a fetecchia in the sense that turns very slow, it seems to use the pc remotely, I would exclude the use.
seven is young and some youthful poop has it. what I have noticed is that once the pc is developed it is faster than xp or xpx64.
errors can also occur in programs, but the system never stacks.

We have a "old" dj 1055cm that is still perfect.. I can't find drivers and I can't make it work with win7. Unfortunately these are things I didn't think when I got the ws.. as well as the fact that win7 is not compatible on the network with linux servers (or at least in a network with "mixed" utilities), but this for now the programmer has solved it (I have not understood that "patch" has installed. but it is not yet definitive, it seems a "beta"), only that with xp while being user I had "administrator rights" at least as far as I was concerned (freedom to install programs, updates, intervene on the so etc.). But now with seven I'm stuck in everything and I can't do anything anymore.. and you know that with swx is a mess. says the programmer/assistant that even this with the definitive "patch" will solve.. Hopefully.

is not a problem of solidworks or patches, it is the hp that does not make drivers. for designjet I did not find the following drivers to xp 32 bits, so xp 64, view and 7 are out.
you can try to use it with windows drivers, but more than the test page I know you don't print.
another alternative is to try with the drivers of another plotter (in my case 430), but the result was negative.

I also had to scrap my 350c with regret (unfortunately after more than 10 years of uninterrupted work an irreparable failure to the heads lock...:frown:) and with xp64 I managed to make it go only with basic drivers through another xp32 machine, indispensable for large prints (for the use of shared memory).
I went to canon after the bad experiences with hp printers and what to say... a breath of fresh air!!!:finger::finger:

I know. I said that for networking problems (with linux servers).

no, for mine it seems to me that until view64 there are (I remember having seen them looking at the site hp).. If it's true, I'll try with those.

Don't tell me that I have to change that plotter, in company they scotennano me (incauto purchase of ws with seven); works perfectly and at the time had cost around 13 million lire.
and I wouldn't want to downgrade to xp.

but computer science, software and hardware make you mad.

should not be scolded because with solidworks 2011 I think xp is no longer supported.
 
I perhaps (and I repeat perhaps) have solved with this:
http://www.winline.com/What's going on?
http://www.paolocasella.it/I made a quote.
hello and a thousand thanks for this link. my designjet 350 is still perfectly working and I am using it with the last xp 32 in the office. I was willing to throw it as soon as I passed to 7 even this last pc and if everything goes well I still keep it. for the moment I compiled the form and asked to be contacted.
I don't know how much it will cost me, there is to keep in mind that now a designjet 500 new costs around 2000 euros, used around 1000 and it is a much more modern machine.
there is also to say that the hp series type 350 never have anything, at most change the cartridges and everything goes back to work.
 
I have to change the printserver for the moment with the win7 switch, there are no more drivers.
Then I think my 450c will be a mess.
