Re: Preview window gone



Just wanted to say thank you for trying to help me Don.........I appreciate
it. I too was confused as everyone I know that has SP2 had the same version
as you and I. I haven't done that update either..........if it ain't broke
don't fix it. <g> I'm going to uninstall SP2 and reinstall. I think Jim's
right about something being corrupted or not a full install. It only took a
few minutes.

Thanks again!
Spaz

Thanks Jim, that would explain it. That patch shows up in the optional
updates folder
for me, and since I wasn't experiencing any of the detailed problems
associated with
that cumulative update for OE I didn't install it(yet).
