Here it is the "REAL" solution (worked for me)

Add this to your registry: (select text, copy to notepad, save as file.txt, rename file.txt to file.reg)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{6d2b5079-2f0b-48dd-ab7f-97cec514d30b}]
@="Preview Handler Surrogate Host"
"DllSurrogate"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,\
00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,\
