Ain't been around much have ya ;>)

Seen it many times over the past 10 years with 10 users. it's a Windows
thing more than a Solidworks thing. This guys problem sounds system or
driver related.

Timely topic - Ironically, we just ran into this exact problem on a
laptop system this morning.
The laptop worked great up through the end of the day yesterday, but
when I started it this morning (after hooking it up to our network to
get a file) I started to get this error on SWx files (2006 and 2007).
Deleting the tilda doesn't work - I get the same error on files copied
from the server and pasted onto the desktop using windows explorer (no
tilda) AND when trying to open a file created and saved on that laptop
today. Shutting down and restarting was no help - nothing has been.
BTW-No problem with other file types - just SWx parts.

Backup all data files, then use System Restore to restore registry files.

On a side note, I have a small utility on all my PC's ERUNT that makes a
copy of the registry each day on start up. It can be a little less drastic
than a System Restore if I encounter problems like the one you are having
it's simply a matter of restoring the registry. I also backup the SolidWorks
program folder on regular basis, restoring the SolidWorks program folder
along with restoring the registry has saved my sanity on a number of
occasions. Usually just restoring the registry has solved any issues.

Note I haven't had to do a system restore for a long time, but when I'm on a
tight deadline it's nice to know 99% of my problems can be fixed in a matter
of minutes using the procedure above. It sure beats reinstalling SolidWorks
and or Windows, if you've got a client turning up in half an hour.

Care to tell us what OS you are using? what hardware?
Did you make an administrative image or install straight from disk?

Can you list the SW files you were working on?

Is the problem that SW won't read the files or that SW itself isn't
running right?

When you say you can't find the temp files where are you looking? Why
are you looking for temp files?

Did you have autorecover turned on?

Did you have backups turned on? If so did you have it set to 1 or 2+?

Did you have a nightly backup going? Was it file based or a partition
image?

It might be a long shot and not sure if you or others have tried this
but it has helped me a few times with corrupt part/asm/drw files...

EcoSqueeze!? http://www.ecocom.com/

Using it strips away redundant data so you end up with pure data.

Anyhow, see if it works?
