selecting "file" button freezes system. wierd problem
here's a really weird issue.  up to last week my sworks 2007 worked just fine.  then some weird conflict started.
i can spin just fine, everything is working fine but when i select the "file" button (as in "file -> save" or "file -> xxxanythinxxx")my whole system freezes up for around 30 seconds.  after that every time i go near the file button my system freezes.  i can continue to work in solidworks but if i want to file -> save my part then i have to freeze the system and wait 30 seconds for it to come back.
i was thinking it might be the anti-virus software....i shut it off and it didn't fix the problem.  i also switched sworks to not show thumbnails in files...and that wasn't the fix either.
any ideas out there.  thanks so much for your help.
