Lost rendering preview window

My Photoworks rendering window has disappeared and I can't seem to
find it. I've tried turning it off and then on in the Rendering
Options control panel, but it still is not visible. Any ideas?

TIA, /r

 

Just a guess...

Change the resolution of your video card settings to the highest level.
Maybe the window is floating way out in space somewhere?

You can maybe drag it back in.

That was a good idea Mike; but it didn't solve the problem - bummer.
Thanks for trying. Any other guesses, even if they're far out. I'm
desperate. I have been trying to solve this for weeks and have gone
through several SW lists asking the question. I even tried calling SW;
so far no luck there. Maybe I'll just have to accept defeat and
reinstall. It's not a big thing not having the Render Window, it's
just the principle of the thing that buggs me...

Rather than doing a total re-install maybe you should try running a
repair on your current installation. This actually happened to a
while back. It didn't bother me because I rarely use the preview
window. It came back when I upgraded to SW2004 and has been fine
since.

Tur on the preview window.....and open the materiakl editor.....while having
it open rmb the taskbar and take "tile windows".....then it should show up

It's been a while since I did this, so someone may want to
verify this...

Do a "Regedit" and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
find Software, SolidWorks and rename SolidWorks 2004
(or 2005) by putting OLD at the end or whatever.

When you re-start SolidWorks, it resets everything to the
defaults.
