Solidworks 2005-2006 Student Edition won't start

[greatdiwei]

Hello,

When I try running SW Student Edition 2005-06, I get an error message:

"Failed to initialize Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)."

Then SW terminates. A Windows XP message appears:

Error signature
AppName: sldworks.exe
AppVEr: 13.3.1.110
ModName: sldappu.dll
ModVer: 13.3.1.110
Offset: 000ac1c0

I've tried using this command in Run...:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\oleaut32.dll

But still the same problem. I've also tried uninstalling and
reinstalling SW. Any advice on how to resolve this problem?

So you've gotten the exact same error on some computers?

It works on my laptop, but I can't do anything on a 1.4GHz Pentium M.
