I used to successfully use Quickview 10 with dopus, until I got these 64-bit machines (1 Vista, 1 Windows 7). Quickview doesn't have a 64-bit version, and despite pointing Multiview to the 32-bit version of quickview the viewer pane of a wordperfect file shows hex instead of a document. So I tried X1 current version (6.2.4, build 3631), pointing multiview to it, but it still won't view wordperfect properly. X1 itself does view the file properly. So it appears their new version doesn't work with multiview. Any suggestions, or does anyone have a copy of X1 build 3565(?), supposedly the last free version which worked properly with multiview? Thanks.
Is X1 64-bit?
No.
Thanks for all the quick responses.
I did find buried in x1's release notes that it "doesn't support 64-bit at this time", just like quickview also said, which is presumably why dopus 64-bit's multiview won't work properly with it.
I thought maybe I could load both 32-bit and 64-bit dopus, but in another thread leo said you can only use 64-bit on 64-bit os's. So much for using the viewers in 32-bit...
So back to an original question: will any third-party viewer work in dopus?? Maybe the older version of x1?? If not, any suggestions on how to view weirder formats like wordperfect?
Apparently OpenOffice can read Word Perfect documents so you may be able to use the OpenOffice ActiveX control to view them in Opus.
