WDS 3/Windows XP SP3 displays "unable to display preview" for allfile types

[Guest ajkessel]

WDS is properly working as expected, other than I can't display

previews of any file types. The preview window just indicates "unable

to display preview." Any suggestions? There is not much out there on

this error.

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for

Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and

e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

I tried several "chat" supports and the support person never could see

anything I was typing. I could see their typing, though. I eventually

gave up and tried email support; I'll report back if I get a useful

answer.

This entire problem seems to have been fixed in WDS 4.0.
