Thread: Can't preview

Has anyone have any idea's why when i click preview i get a popup saying unexpected file format. strange i can publish but not preview
thank anyone.

You have to stand on one leg, stick your tongue slightly out the right corner of your mouth and swing the dead chicken over your head counter clockwise.

Either that, or determine if you've made any recent changes to your browser, such as downloading the very buggy IE7 beta. If that isn't it, I'd uninstall and reinstall BV and if that doesn't fix it, stand on one leg, stick your tongue slightly out the right corner of your mouth and swing the dead chicken over your head counter clockwise.

Thank racefan20.
tried the first one but kept falling over . will try reinstalling bluevoda when i get in from work later .
dame you bill gates.

LMAO It's all in the details, my friend.

Ok Racefan tried both suggestions, even tied hiting it with the chicken, but no joy still getting the same message when i try to preview. i'm of to find a Turkey.

No, don't worry about the turkey - if a dead chicken didn't fix it a turkey will be a waste of time.

I did a forum search and I've seen Naval recommend running a registry repair program to fix things similar to this.

Thanks racefan, is that the same sort of program as system restore in windows, strange though its like it's not Recognizing the file format of bluevoda, yet i can publish.

Also try this: BV, Tools, Options, Preview, unchek the "Default Browser" box, then navigate to find the exe file of your Browser (IE or Firefox or whatever you use). and select it.

Try to preview again.

Thanks Naval
i will try that later as well, when i get in from that other thing i do, (work).

A system restore is always a good option. I saw Trish post earlier about having problems with a recent Microsoft upgrade, maybe that's biting you as well.

If you restore or upgrade, stick with IE6. Stay away from IE 7 - a new version without the bugs is supposed to come out later in the year.

how about something easy like hard boot.......

that is reboot, not kick it lol

It makes me fell less inept to see I'm not the only one that has problems

All this talk of chicken and turkey is making me hungry. Think I'll break for lunch.

Ok People, good news the chicken has been tamed. The turkey kicked into shape. The dimwit ( me ) had somehow set it to firefox then got rid of firefox. how's that for the most stupidest thing to do. DER
oh well thanks everyone for your much Appreciated help in my hours of stupidity.

Uh....I dunno, Garry! Youz ain't the only one feeling poultry factor 'round here! Personally, I've been a bird brain myself....

I kind of resolved a "Preview" matter on my own too....(after causing some dust in the road to progress).....

Makes me think that I should follow my own advice: work carefully, and within specific focus so as not to miss details. I apologize to everyone!
