  for saving as stl you have an option box. in the option menu you have 2 choose: Binary & ASCII
  change the out put as:
  if it's Binary select ASCII and if it's ASCII opt Binary.
  it's must work then.

     If you could upload your cad model then i could check that.

  It might be that you're running a limited version of SW?
  Or I know that you can't stl a file if its not a solid body (i.e. a surface model), but I think it will still give you the stl option in the save as menu.

     hmm. it look's that your solidworks is not full version or not installed correctly.
