I can not see any preview to create the G-code

Hello,
Have an older computer. The program runs under WinXP but I can not see any preview to create the G-code. I saved a blank preview window.
What can I do? Graphics card drivers are the latest that is possible.

Thorsten,
As I type the following reply, I am assuming you are new to Creator. Please accept my apologies if my assumption is incorrect and you already know this stuff!!!
Did you move the sliders at the bottom of the Preview window and check the checkboxes for what to show (extrudes, fast moves, retracts, etc.)? There's a "start" slider and an "end" slider that pick what portion of the preview to show. To show the entire preview, slide the start slider all the way to the left and the end slider all the way to the right. As you slide the end slider, you should see the "extruder" go though its moves layer by layer building up the print. If you slide the start slider, you will see the bottom of the print disappear and only show the upper layers. These sliders let you show the whole print, or just the parts you want to key on, say, some solid layers in the middle that you want to make sure are handled correctly.
Unfortunately, the default is to have both sliders all the way to the left when the preview window opens. I would have preferred to have the End slider all the way to the right so the whole part is rendered. But you have to move the sliders to see anything other than the print bed.
Hope this helps!
Dale

That's unfortunately not. I tried the program on other computers and it works with the preview. However, since it is based on sometimes when I move the slider to the right. This happened on 3 other computers also, i think its a bug there. Later times can make a screenshot of the message.

The Screenshot at the Slider ending.
This is another PC I tested the program!

I send the g-code. Thanks.
But why can´t I see anything on my old notebook with Win XP, ServicePack 3, Net Rramework 4.0. 1.7Ghz 1Gb ram.
I can use creater for my printer with this notebook but i can´t see the preview. No table, rapids, tool and retracts.
Is this PC too slow?
