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, -- Timo Printed May 5, 2024, 9:34 pm This article has been viewed/printed 35114 times.
