OS X 'Quick Look' stopped working

"I am running the latest updates for my Mac OS X OS and I just realized that Quick Look is not working. Typically I select a file via single click in my finder and press the space bar this would bring up Quick Look. It currently does nothing.
I looked in the Console and it is not generating any errors. Is there a known fix?"

"Thank you very much elias, this was the problem
I didn't have to uninstall, just quit sugarsync manager. I've also sent them a support request.

This article on SugarSync help says that the latest version solves the problem, and suggests the following workaround
The following steps should resolve the issue as a temporary work around until we have an update built into the SugarSync Manager.

In Finder, go to the Applications folder
Right click (or Ctrl click) on SugarSync Manager application
Select Show Package Contents
In the new Finder window that opens, go to Contents/Plugins and delete SugarSyncCMPlugin.cocoa.plugin.
After deleting these files, just restart Finder (or log out and log back in to your computer)
Note: by deleting the plug-in you are disabling Finder extensions completely. You will lose overlay icons and context menus untill we fix the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience and will get an update out as soon as possible.

Cheers
