Hey, it worked!  A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post here about the issues that I was having with my work computer.  The title of the blog post was “crash and burn”.  Well as of Thursday around 1:00 PM I am now off and running.  This week when the new SolidWorks Forums went live I wanted to test out and see just how much interaction SolidWorks employees were going to have on there so I posted a topic looking on for an update to SPR #484553.  Well I got what I was looking for.  Allen Cerny wrote is 1st response since January 9, 2007 and it was a great one.  He pointed all of us to the hotfix for this SPR that was just released.

If you have been experiencing these same issues you NEED to refer to this solution in order to fix it.  The solution is S-039735 and it includes a hotfix that you can install to fix the problem.

So in closing all I want to say is THANK YOU SolidWorks.  You have officially saved me!
