Thumbnails not working in Windows Explorer
Thumbnails have stopped working. The option to view thumbnails appears in
Windows Explorer but for some reason it no longer shows the thumbnails, just an icon. It used to work and I can't think of any changes I've made that would do this. Can anyone help?

Thumbnails not working in Windows Explorer
It's a while since Thumbnail issues have been reported in the WinMe
Newsgroups, which were often caused by installing 'new' picture viewing software. However, it may well be worth trying :- Start | Run and type "REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL" at the StartRun prompt (no quotes and note the space after the 32) then OK. It certainly won't do any harm - and may even fix it! HTH Mart "Ken G." wrote in message ... Thumbnails have stopped working.

Thanks Mart. That did fix it. The only thing is there's now a small icon of
the associated graphics program in the bottom right hand corner that wasn't there before but I can live with that. Cheers, Ken G.

Thumbnails not working in Windows Explorer
Good to hear that re-registering the thumbvw.dll file did the trick - bit of
an old chestnut these days and thanks for the confirmation . Regarding the graphics icon on the system tray (bottom rh corner), if it becomes an issue, you *might* find that there is a switch to turn it off (left or right-click on the icon). Some utilities give the option, others don't. Mart "Ken G." wrote in message news  Thanks Mart. That did fix it.

I have the same problem (Vista), tried the fix, and the module couldn't be
found. "Mart" wrote: It's a while since Thumbnail issues have been reported in the WinMe Newsgroups, which were often caused by installing 'new' picture viewing software.

You are posting to a WinME (Millennium) newsgroup, "slightly" different from
Vista. Cross posted to the Windows Vista newsgroup. Hopefully you will get some help there. Cheers, Zee "artistdave" wrote in message ...

Thumbnails not working in Windows Explorer
And it's a while (some 2 years or more) since I wrote that reply!
However, that 'fix' applies to the WinMe (and perhaps the Win9x series) operating system. Your problem is with the very much later Vista operating system which uses a completely different architecture, so the fact that you can't get it to work doesn't surprise me. You need to address your query to one of the MS Vista News Groups - you've come to a Windows Millennium Group. Mart "artistdave" wrote in message ...

Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
Click the View tab, and then deselect the Always show icons, never thumbnails check box. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com Winhelponline.com blog http://www.winhelponline.com/blog "oops!!" wrote in message ...
