[ksneed]

worked for me too! thanks

[Massingc1983]

This did work for me! thank you. 

[adelhoyo · Accepted solution]

Solved! 

The same happend to me. 

The procedure that worked for me was:

 1) Create a new .pbx file

 2) Save, close and reopen that file.

 3) You will be able to open up your previews .pbx files again.

I hope it helps,

   Alex.
