SolidWorks - Good Links

Have you ever wished you could find that one person in the world that has already done to their computer what you need to do to yours?

Performing a Google search is the fastest way to find your answers. However some people never seem to think of this as a research tool. I always try to keep some important links from the web to help with questions users might have or a colleague might need. My links are always growing, but these are a few that I hope you will enjoy. They vary between SW tutorials to installing SP3 XP via a slipstream DVD (
I recently had to make one for my home computer. Doing this resolves pci.sys file errors).
