Print Preview Crash

I just upgraded to V14.

I am also seeing the Print Preview crash.

New file, couple of equations, no problem.
Add one line of text and it crashes. It
does give a couple of error messages about
memory access.

On an older, bigger file, it crashes and
closes the window quickly, no error messages.

New Dell 630, 4GB RAM
Intel graphics, external display.

Please put me on the list.

With last patch - all OK with preview!

This is a bug that affects some people and not others. We are aware of the problem, and the fix should be in the next maintenance (service) release for Mathcad 14.0. I do not have a date for that release as of yet.

I'm a little late in posting to this thread, but it appears that the Print Preview Crash is similar to the problem I posted under "Ongoing Problem with Mathcad 14." In my case, the File menu will not drop down. When I click on the File menu, Mathcad 14 says, "An invalid argument was encountered." I can access all the File menu choices from the Standard Toolbar except for Print Preview. When I select Print Preview from the Standard Toolbar, Mathcad quits.

This behavior has persisted through maintenance releases M010 and M011 on both of the machines on which I have Mathcad 14 installed.
