I am thinking of upgrading to the Corel 2017 and downloaded the trial version of the program and now my preview in my Corel X5 and also in the trial version of 2017 is not showing me the preview of any Vector based graphics. Anybody else had this problem and have you found a fix for it
I got in touch with support and they are working on my problem

I use CorelDRAW for almost all my daily work, and I'm very happy with the global performance of the program. About the preview, it's a common issue (it happens sometimes, with almost all versions) and it's relative to the "Windows Shell extension" and the assotiation with CorelDRAW. Usually, the fastest solution is to select a CDR file, right click, "open with..." but don't select any program, but choose "use other..." and on the following list, choose CorelDRAW and enable "use this program as default"
I know I love the program and have been using it since 1978 and love it and use it alot, and yes sometimes the preview did not show up and all i had to do is go to the unistall and choose fix it and it would go through the whole installation again and it would fix itself. Just this time nothing seems to fix the problem and am thinking of restoring my system to prior to installing the trial version of Corel 2017 where the problems started. I tried uninstalling the Trial version but it won't let me, it gives me an error of not being able to find either the disk or the program, eventhough I can use the program). At this point send my problem to the support team and they are looking into the problem for me, Will try the procedure you suggested and see how it goes. Thanks for your feed back

That sound as the reason of the problem. Maybe there was an error during installation or some conflict with Windows libraries. Check if you have installed all Windows updates, specially the .NET framework
