Anyone know what would cause the Preview not to show the image in the Print Madule?

Hi famafoto, welcome to the forum!
Which preview are we talking about? The main print module layout? Or something else?

Hi,
In the Print Module, Top Left Pannel. (under the name plate) It says preview. It is blank. It worked on my old machine. When I re-loaded LR and all my photos to my new Vista Machine...it stoped showing the preview. I'm now on Windows 7, still not working?
I have included a screen shot.
Thanks

Are you sure it worked in the Print module? I believe that's just supposed to be a preview of the layout, not the images.

Hmmmmm...If that is write, you can also see the layout on the main part of the screen.....What is the need of the Preview? I wish we could just tune it off. I know that we can close it. This brings me to another question, why when we right click, we can turn off some things but not all? We sholuld be able to turn off what we don't need. No matter how big our screens are, it is a sin to disply anything that a users does not want.

Its use is definitely not to show what you already have in the center. Its usefullness come into play when you hover different layouts in the left panel helping you to make a choice without changing what is already done.
