I have upgrade RW from 6.4.x to 7.01 and now 7.02. In edit mode no problem i can see the project. In preview mode i see nothing, the page is blank, there is a mistake but i don’t know why…  
When i create a new project, it’s a same problem; edit mode OK, preview mode nothing \>\> blank page…  
Some can help me to resolve the situation.

I have the exact same problem as Ivan. I have no specific theme picked since I would like to start a new web page. All the free themes available do not work in preview.

Yes i have all erased with CleanApp RW 6 and RW 7 and i have RW7 re-installed but the error is always…

But I have find the error

My hosts file were wrong, when i install RW, the program write 255.255.255.255localhosts, it must have a blank between 255 and localhosts.  
I have change my hosts file and restart my computer and no problem all right, thanks for your help

I think that all error are coming from the host file when Preview is blank. For the next friend, speak about hosts file…
