I run a Dell with the Quadro, and the NVidia drivers fail miserably. I had to downgrade them to the Dell drivers.
Are you on an approved platform?
In the 1st post you say that WF 5 stops immediately. Now Creo 2 runs for a short period of time and then stops. So these are not the -same- results. You are welcome to post the Microsoft message that the error returns if you can find the error report.
What OS are you running? Is it the Professional version? Did WF5 run reliably before on this computer. What has changed on this computer.
I know this is frustrating but you have to be forthcoming if you want to gain the insight from people here.
My 1st experience with Pro/E was on a windows NT machine that I built. I could work it just fine but I had to resign myself to the fact that it simply stopped working if I "tripped it up" somehow by pushing too many buttons before it was ready. Most times it would simply exit on a drawing for no apparant reason. I used that setup before upgrading to Creo last year. I learned to save a lot! Oddly enough, this -is- what it means to run Creo on a non-approved platform.
Then again, I had a chance to run solidworks for a few months on a hot-rod laptop. It crashed more often than my old Pro/E. You have a config issue, OS issue, or a hardware issue. We cannot narrow it down until you post what must be posted. Or else, you can have the PTC academic support tech ask you all the very same questions, if you can eventually reach one.
You can also try contacting the forum's academia rep Tim Brotherhood and see if he can help you get connected with tech support.
