Thumbnails not visibleExpand / Collapse

Hi,

Whenever I view a folder (stored on a CD) with photo files using windows
explorer it does not show the small pictures. Instead the standard windows
icon/picture is shown. The pictures are visible for a short moment and then
replaced by the default windows icon picture. This problem does not occur
when I via a folder with photo files located on the harddisk.

I use Windows Vista home premium (dutch version)

Anyone familiar with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Randal,

Sometimes it may take a moment to load the thumbnails into the cache
and for them to be displayed. Is the green bar moving across the address
bar of the open CD window indicating that Vista is loading them?

Hi,

Thanks for your answer but no there is no green bar moving across the
adressbar.
There is one when viewing a folder on the harddisk.

Regards,

Randal

I have the same problem, for ANY directory of images I view. I have a brand
new out of the box Dell with Vista, SP1 and Office 2007. Its a company
machine so I don't want to mess with the registry. This started happening
about a week after I added images to the Picture folder. Its not loading to
cache becuase there is no gren timer thingy, its not blocked by the
nextworked becuase it worked for a few days and its not memory becuase -
although they are different here in Vista, I have emptied and cleared every
temp file& folder I can think of and/or find. Its a real pain when trying to
upload to web applications because not all images have been clearly named - I
never had this problem in XP!

Your advice is greatly appreciated.
-Monica

I'll try it. But why would they be enabled and visible for the first week
then suddenly disable themselves?

I'll let you know if it works.
Thx

Well, it worked. Just not sure how it was turned on(checked) in the first
place. I'm very specific about the way I set my views, becuase I LIKE to see
file extensions and full paths.
Anyway, Thanks!

Because Windows is a pile of crap that often reverts back to what it
wants to display verses what you ask it to display.

Your welcome Monica. I'm glad to hear that it is working again. By
default they are turned on in Vista, but installing some image programs
may interfere with them or you may have just accidentally turned it off
it Folder Options.
