Keep getting kicked out of Inventor

[inventor_phild]

Some good suggestions already posted.

I have 2014, 2015 and 2016 installed and running on my Dell workstation laptop at home so there should be no issue with multiple versions.

I am currently travelling and purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 which has Windows 10 installed. This OS is not currently supported by Autodesk but I have had no issues.

So, we have eliminated multiple versions and Windows 10 as possible issues, although the 10 issue could be a concern.

Back to the questions posted earlier.

1. Can you create a new part file in 2014?
2. Rather than uninstall each time, try repairing the install.

Let me know how you get on.

I also have multiple versions of Inventor running on my system as well as other CAD programs. Never had an issue.

One thing to note whenever installing a program, especially on an older computer (laptops are even worse due to travel) is to run an error check on the drive.

If there are file structure errors on the drive it can cause all kinds of fun..

A quick search will give you the steps to run an error check.
You should be doing this as well as defragmentation every so often as standard maintenance.

Also depending on your level of computer knowledge, there could be programs running in the background that can cause issues, that you can try disabling as part of the troubleshooting process. Again a quick web search...

I would also suggest to turn off any anti virus while installing. I have run into issues with various AV programs running when installing programs.. though Inventor wasn't one of them.. But that will depend on the A/V installed.

Hope this helps..

As I mentioned, it crashes when I try open the TEMPLATES.
I cannot create a part or an assembly.
2016 ran fine but we are using 2014 on the team. I have the same anti-virus I loaded for 2016.
I have 500 gig left on a 1 terra byte drive..
Also, a STP model won't even start to load..\
The video driver is what AutoDesk recommends.
