SolidWorks? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone here know anything about that CAD program SolidWorks? I just bought my fiance a new computer and didn't realize that we'd run into problems with it being a 64 bit machine. The new computer isn't letting him install SolidWorks because of the 64 bit and I'm trying to find out if there is any way we can get around this. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!

Oh I am sorry, I don't know! My husband does all of his work in SolidWorks at his job, and he installed it on our computer and it was fine. I think you can go into your computers display settings and adjust something though.

Thank you so much for your input! Finals week is next week so he's frantically working on projects this week. Once he's done stressing over those, then hopefully he'll have time to set down and get it figured out. This is one of those times that I really wish I that understood computers better!

It's so frustrating to watch him...he has the new computer set up and he's using that but then he also has the old computer set up on the other side of the desk to run SolidWorks off of!
