Can I install CREO School Editon on Windows 7 Home Basic?

It used to work fine on my computer. Now it suddenly won't start. It's the school edition, Wildfire 5 (from what I can tell in the bin folder). Anyway, I click to start the program and nothing happens. If I watch Task Manager, two process both called "cmd.exe *32" start as well as I think one called "conhost.exe", but after a few secons one of the cmd.exe processes stop. The other two processes remain and nothing happens. If I end the remaining cmd processes and try to start all over again, it seems sometimes a cmd process and the conhost processes show up again, but sometimes not, maybe depending on how quickly I try again. Anyway, I've tried different compatibility modes, running as administrator, but have had no luck. I also can't find the install CD, so I don't know what to do. Help?Windows 7 Professional 64-bitNVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX

Hello! I have a number of Pro-Desktop files from ages ago, in .des format. Which current product can open them up so I can use them?

Hi there,I'm a University student whose recently tried to download Creo 1.0 for Engineering Design. I've downloaded the license documents and all the set up stuff. I then downloaded the Creo 1.0 DVD zip folder. When it was complete, I tried to launch the program but a window pops up saying "the compressed file is invalid or corrupt".I then used a free download manager to download it and tried again. But again the same thing happens?I hope this isn't a noob question or I'm missing something obvious but how do I resolve this, preferably without having to download it a third time? I have Windows XP if that makes any difference. Please help.Thanks,Danny

Team 1967 has recently been tinkering with the use of MathCAD to "do the math" for this year's Rebound Rumble game. We created a ball trajectory calculator worksheet in MathCAD Prime 1.0, inspired by the work of http://engunneer.com/content/blog/first-2012-ball-trajectory-spreadsheet.Thought other teams might be interested in seeing how MathCAD can be used in FRC.

I have successfully downloaded Creo Parametric. All the icons on the toolbars appear to work but upon selecting sketch or anything the screen remains white, nothing is displayed. If I try to draw a line, the line is not visible on the screen. I have attached a print screen of what I can see.Any help would be much appreciated,-Sal

Hi there, Today I was trying to install my copy of Pro/E on my newly installed copy of Win XP and I've encountered a little problem - the installer got stuck at 98% a point labelled "Pro/Engineer Configuration". Here's a screen shot. It stays at 98% for like 2 hours now. The images are changing tho.

Students from schools across the region gathered March 30th and 31st at the University of Minnesota’s athletic complex in Minneapolis for this year’s FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) regional robotics competition. This year, students competed in a mechanical basketball shootout in an event called the Rebound Rumble (See Pam Vermeer’s write up below for details on the competition).The Thursday before the competition, a number of PTC employees participated in the set up for the event, transforming the University of Minnesota athletic complex into a playground for the Rebound Rumble. The set up of the course must be done very carefully, as all of the robots have been designed using precise measurements according to the initial game requirements presented during the Rebound Rumble kick-off in January.The teams had six weeks to design and build their robots before loading them up. When they arrive for the competitions, the robots are waiting for them in the

I have installed creo 1.0 schools edition on my windows 7 64-bit computer. My problem is that I can´t get the PTC webpage to disappear, when creo 1.0 starts.

Hi everyone, I was wondering what everyone uses Windchill for. Our team uses Windchill to report reflections, and for file and photo storage. We also use it for notebook uploading and CAD. We do use Windchill for its version management for final documents.Thanks, Dan

I'm creating an assembly in Creo schools edition but when I try to save it, it comes up with a sign saying each part is not regenerated. When I open it agamy contraints are all wrong and the whole thing is a mess. Help?

I'm designing an assembly using Creo Elements Prof 5.0 schools edition. I would like to constrain the surfaces of two parts to be angled at 120 degrees. The help center mentions an angle offset type that I think will solve the problem. But it doesn't appear as an offset type in my drop down menu. How do I contrain two parts to be aligned a given number of degrees?Thanks.

Dear experts help please with the solution of the problem in Mathcad

Has anyone encountered this problem?I'm trying to load a Pro/Engineer WF5 file from our ACE Winchill server to my workspace.The file will not download to my workspace. This is the Event Manager error I get: ================================================================Local cache for source "failedRequest" is having incomplete information for merge================================================================Once I try adding this Pro/E file, I can no longer add ANY files to my workspace.I've tried clearing my Pro/E, JAVA and Internet Explorer cache.Two other engineers in my area were able to load the same file from the server to their workspace and open it with Pro/E sucessfully.

Earlier this week, we receved a direct message via our PTC University page on Facebook from a student user in the UK with questions around simulation. Instead of direct messaging back the links, I think it makes sense to share them here, as our Community platform provides more space and user-friendly link posting.Creo Simulate online help front pageThis page talks about convergence methods and optionsThis page talks about assessing results quality and has links to SPA and MPAElite Consulting has a good introduction and comparison of h-method vs Simulate’s p-methodThis (old) document has a good theoretical explanation of Simulate’s convergence methods and references theory papers.I hope this will be helpful for Ikram in the UK and maybe for some other readers too.Bettina
