No preview in Solidworks 2008
No preview in Solidworks 2008
(OP)
Just got a new computer with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system. When I am in Solidworks 2008 and attempt to open a file, none of the files have a preview. Anybody else have this problem?

Do you both have the Aero interface enabled?

I turned on Aero, but still no preview from within the SolidWorks open dialog. Although I do like the small pop-up preview of what the window contains. I think I will keep Aero interface enabled for awhile.
A star for you.

Thank you so very much. A big star for you.
The Windows Explorer/organize/folder and search options/view, unchecked "Always show icon, never thumbnails". Did not work for me.
Although I did what you said in SolidWorks, from the Open dialog. Organize, Layout Preview Pane. I clicked Preview Pane and now I have a Preview. Wow, you made my day.
