Check the Windows %TEMP% -environment variables. Preview generates pages as WMF
fiiles to the Windows temporary directory (CLA*.TMP) , and most preview errors
are caused by errors in accessing these files.
Since the problem only exists when running 16-bit applications, such as the
CIarion IDE, Report Writer or applications run from the IDE (which inherit the
16-bit environment settings), it would be reasonable to think that the error is
related to handling of temp files in 16-bit subsystem. In Windows XP the
Clarion temporary directory seems to always point to %WINDIR\TEMP , so you
could check that this directory exists and that you have full access rights to
that directory. The 32-bit Clarion applications use the Windows default temp
directory, which is by default %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp .
Sometimes Clarion runs out of temporary WMF filenames to generate (with several
thousands of temp files), so clean out the temp directory every once in a
while.
If this doesn't help, try modifying the %TEMP% and %TMP% -variables.
Cheers,
