Uninstalling ghostscript and attempting to preview did not work. 

I'm running scribus 1.4.5 on windows 7 professional 64-bit. I'm going to try
uninstalling scribus and then I will reinstall ghost script, scribus 1.4.5
and see what happens. After that I'm at a loss. I just downloaded this
program on Thursday and am a fan of it, but I need to be able to print and
export easily.

I'm currently running 1.4.5 but I'm uninstalling the ghostscript and will
try to print/export without it, if that doesn't work then I will uninstall
completely and try again.

MOre info is helpful. What flavor to Scribus are you using, on what platform
and have you updated anything besides Ghostscript? I usually recommend
installing Ghostscript, Imagemagick, TeX and Gimp first and then installing
Scribus. If you did things in a different order perhaps you should reinstall
the latest stable Scribus, which is either 1.4.4 or 1.4.5 (I use 1.4.6.)
again.
