FAQ

Q. Why doesn't my preview work when running Win95 with IE5.5 installed?

A. You need a full version of Internet Explorer installed with the ActiveDesktop support to enable Preview.
You can verify if you are running the full version of IE by checking for the file ie4shl95.cab among IE setup files. If that file is present you are running a full version.

Q. Why does previewing my Office documents not work?

A. Office documents can be previewed only if they've been saved with an embedded preview picture. (There's a specific checkbox in the File/Properties dialog of Office applications that enables this.)
