No previews for pictures?

If I chose large icons in a picture folder i get no live previews? No matter
what I select it just show a standard icon for all images.

Re: No previews for pictures?

'Folder Options' dialog -> 'View' tab -> under 'Adavanced settings:'

Clear the checkbox for 'Always show icons, never thumbnails'

Re: No previews for pictures?

Do you always see icons or always see thumbnails?

Re: No previews for pictures?

Have you installed any 3rd party image/photo software that may have altered
default thumbnail generation?

What version of Vista are you runnning? Home? Business? Ultimate?

If you enable the Preview Pane in Explorer, are images displayed there?

Re: No previews for pictures?

I'm having that same problem, I have Home Premium. And I tried checking that
box, it didn't work. Any other ideas?
