Computer Help
 

my os is windows 2000 pro.

here's my problem

while I'd be working with a folder with pics and would view thumbnails to preview the pic before opening it, I would see the whole pic, now I'm not seeing it anymore ,....any ideas how I can see the pics again?


thanks for your help

In Windows Explorer for that directory click on "view" then select thumbnails. I think that's what you mean.

Thanks PK, but thats the problem, I am clicking on view, then selecting thumbnails, but I'm not seeing the preview pics, I was seeing them yesterday but lastnight I uninstalled some programs I wasn't using, I wonder if thats the problem?

any other I ideas

Are you sure you've no disassociated your jpgs or gifs so that windows doesn't know they are images?

I'm not 100% sure, but the jpgs and gifs open with photoshop, if I disassocited them, how do i reverse it?

If they open in photoshop when you click on them in Windows Explorer, then I'd think the associations are okay.

any other ideas why I can't see the preview pics ?

try associating them with paint or something just to see what windows does.. also maybe you have too many in the folder, or try creating a new folder and see if you have same prob.

PK, thanks for the link, I give it a try

datinggold, I tried what you said and no change (-:

To resolve this issue, verify that the following registry entries exist for the type of file that you are trying to preview:
Registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\file type\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}

Value: (Default)="{7376D660-C583-11d0-A3A5-00C04FD706EC}"


this is what has to be done, can someone tell me where to find this file?

Did you try a simple reboot yet?

DirkPitt

yup, did a reboot,

I have another computer running windows 200 pro, and I'm having no problems with viewing thumbnails,

I must have deleted a file while uninstalling some progrmas last night?

can I transfer it over form my other cpu, any idea what file it is?

ok I follwoed everything on this page
