Are you certain it's the ADSK program rather than
the OS? It occurs that maybe you have installed an
update to Windows that doesn't support SKF
drawings in Explorer>Thumbnail.
It could be that SP-2 for XP is installed. I know
that Thumbnail doesn't work in my system with
SP-2. (BTW, I let Windows install whatever OS
update it wants, whenever it wants. Maybe that's
wrong, but somehow I just can't be bothered to
fiddle with it.)
What OS were you using with AS V-8? Is it the same
with V-9?
Just a thought.
The thing is, one can't be sanguine about these
newer operating systems, nor can one be certain
that older applications will work with them. Many
times people complain here about AS-2 (of all
things) that it doesn't seem to work with XP. I
mean, "It worked fine with my 386 machine, but now
it's broke!" Duh.
Agree with the gimmick aspect, but I have to admit
that Ray has a point. To each his own, these
programs can't be all things to all peeps.
