I was wondering if anyone knows why my computer doesnt give me a preview of my files. I have tried reinstalling SolidWorks but this keeps happening.

No luck. Im still not getting the preview on the thumbnails. thanks though
You can also check if you have this option unchecked in the windows explorer folder options.
Also forgot to mention in the previous message to run SolidWorks as Administrator and then use the restore file associations. Finally consider that any of the proposed solutions might not take effect immediately, so thats why you might need to open and re-save the files.
Its not letting me run as Administrator. I might need to get IT involved in this. The previous steps already have Show Thumnails in Graphics alrady selected but still does not work. I need to figure out how to run it as Administrator and re-save the files. If I cant figure it out I will ask IT on Monday.
Hi Juan, check if you have this option ticked...
If that's not it, you can try restoring file associations...
Then try opening and saving the assembly/parts, close the folder and reopen it. Hopefully this brings back your thumbnails!
