Thumbnails gone - help!

When I open a folder, on my toolbar, I click on "views" and get the dropdown box which lists thumbnails, large icons, small icons, list, and details. I used to be able to click on "thumbnails" and get them with no problems. Now, that option doesn't seem to be working. It gets very frustrating when I'm looking in a clipart folder. Does anyone know why this option is no longer working? Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi Catthi...

What happens when you click on "Thumbnails "? Are some of the files showing and others not? IE...all the jpg's show but not the bmp's. Found quite a few hits, via Googling, about Thumbnail View not working due to File Association changes.

Doing a "BBS Search" also comes up with quite a few hits => http://www.windowsbbs.com/search.php?searchid=17707

 

Hi Catthi...

I moved your PM to me to your original post so others can see your still having problems and hopefully they will jump in also.

EDIT: The link I added is not working anymore so go to the BBS "Search" page and in window "Search by Key Word" enter Thumbnails ". You will fide quite a few hits. Also if you look on the bottom of this page there should also be a section call "Similar Threads ", it has some links to other hits on Thumbnails.

Here is some other links that might help...
