SolidWorks X64 running Photoworks

   

SolidWorks has just made public that they have uncovered an issue with SolidWorke X64 running Photoworks.  I want to be clear which version of the software are effected.

SolidWorks 2009 SP5  x64

SolidWorks 2010 sp1  x64

SolidWorks 2010 SP2  x64

This problem exists when you enable the Photoworks add in and the active SolidWorks session is already using more than 2gb of virtual memory.  The result of the issue could include damage to the SolidWorks installation, the operating system, program files, and data files.

Here is the bulletin with more info. Includeing links to the hotfixes.
