Arthur, Actually, there might be two options as work-around for preview:
1-) From the menu, select "Run > View Report", and a format that you want to view the report in. You may be able to view your report there. 2-) Increase the JRE memory allocation. Close TBC, in the installation folder for TBC, open the file "eclipse.ini" and replace the text "-Xmx512m" with "-Xmx1024m". If Eclipse issues an error at re-start, please give a smaller number than 1024 until it works on your machine. The reason is that BIRT sometimes consumes a lot of memory (or more importantly contiguous memory I suspect) during preview/report generation. I would also advise checking with BIRT support on memory issues if you feel that they seem more internal to BIRT.
