Hi Dwyane,

Is your presentation located on a network or USB drive?  If so, move it to another location like your local hard drive.

If it's already on your local hard drive, verify that the target path to your presentation doesn't contain more than 256 characters.

If you still continue to have issues, please restart your computer and see if that resolves the issue.  If it doesn't, please let me know.

Sorry, i hit enter before I was done.

Local, always local! LOL

Worked fine this morning, restarted now this. Restarted again, no joy.

Tried with a new file called "test.pptx" (using PPT '07) in new folder called new on desktop, same issue. So the name length is okay.

And now, i don't even get that message. The preview window does not come up at all.

Going to re-install Articulate and see if that fixes it.

Can you respond with link to the latest updated installer?

Thanks Brian.
