All of a sudden, I can't have two windows open?  When I switch from the MFG window to the Product window, it just terminates every time!  The only thing I've done is installed SP6.

 

This is even on very small files?  Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

Never had an issue before.

Also, since installing, the licenses get lost sometimes.  I think I might have to roll back to SP5.

Deleting the Cat Settings fixed it, but now I have to go through all the catsettings again!

UGH!!!

Bryan,

What I do is make a backup of my catsettings
Then if something gets hammered, I can restore

Yeah, I always do that, too. But the catsettings I had were fine with SP5. Something happened when I loaded SP6, and the catsettings must not be good anymore. I didn't make any changes- just loaded SP6. To fix it, all I did was delete the old settings, and no more crashing.

Did you get the 'Life of a catsettings administrator" from the COE annual conf proceedings?

No, but I'm not having any more problems, so I think everything's okay.

The problem came back, but disappeared once I installed a new NVIDIA driver. I had the one recommended by Dassault previously. Now I'm using 169.96_quadro_winxp2k_english_whql.exe

You can get it from NVIDIA's site. Problem solved....what a headache for a day!
