CORRUPTED SW REGISTRY FILE 2

[drewf]

After I had a R.A.I.D drive and Windows SP2 installed, When I reboot my computer my Solidworks registry corrupts. I have to deleted it or run my Solidworks restore settings wizard.
Does anyone know how to fix this ??

Can't you uninstall your seat of SW and do a clean install?

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

There was a bug on this at the Knowledge base and it was in regards to the toolbars becoming in consist... If that is what you are seeing then I suggest you look the error message up in the knowledge base. Believe it or not it will require you to delete some DWG editor keys out.

Otherwise do a Clean uninstall of SW along with cleaning out the Registry.

drewf,
You may not get this same message, but if this is your issue it is in the Knowledge Base, just like Scott said. Look at Solution Id: S-09461 Area: SR Originated

Question: Upon starting SolidWorks 2007 the error message, "Toolbar information is inconsistent, default toolbar setting will be used next startup" displays. How can this be fixed?

Answer:
This problem is caused by corruption in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2007\User Interface\API Toolbars

Deleting or renaming this key will resolve this problem.

To access the registry:

Click Start>Run, type 'regedit' and hit OK.
Locate the above named folder, right-click on the folder and select Rename.
Rename the folder to API Toolbars_old and close the Registry Editor.
