corel x5 not showings file thumbnails

[Turbophein]

help would be greatly appreciated.

its just showing the generic corel thumbnail for all my files. i can't see my work! just the file names and it is taking forever to get stuff done... i installed the corel cd and tried a repair with no luck.... i did just have corel fixed. it was getting stuck loading user settings when opening corel. just renamed the user settings file.

Did you get thumbnails before? Because I have never gotten thumbnails with Corel.

yes always, you can see the entire file in the thumbnail.

Here's how it works for me in x3
If you are in corel and go to open a cdr file, it shows a thumbnail for the file.
If you are not in corel and go to the same file, it doesn't show a thumbnail I suppose because corel isn't being used.

....or maybe a file association problem?

Yeap, that did it the file association for .cdr was set to coreldraw, when I changed it to my current version x6 64 bit now I can see the thumbnails.
I had checked that before but since it showed coreldraw I figured it was right.
Thanks
