This is my first time on this forum. Im posting this message. As I have went through a few suggested fixes. When I have the CDX6 H&S running. And I go to FILE/OPEN I can't preview the .cdr files at all and even there is no preview in window explorer. The issues started when I tried using CDX8 and uninstalled it and went back to x6. This then brought about a issue the no preview. I have tried the shell extension removal for. The version for CD shell ext...is ver 18. It wont uninstall no matter I use. I have re-installed CDX6 H&S and nothing works. If the shell can't be removed what more can I do. To get the preview working.
If more images and more information are needed I will post.
Is this a laptop?
If you're unable to uninstall a non-Windows program and you're an administrator then there's clearly something wrong with your Windows installation.
Usually uninstalling the Shell Extension works well with the normal Windows uninstaller. But you could try REVO. The freeware will do fine. This programs removes the program then removes any leftovers in the registry for a clean uninstall. http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
