Thumbnail Problem

Hi
1. I recently purchased a new computer with Vista Home Premium. It
replaced an older computer with XP.
2. The old computer properly displayed thumbnails in Windows Explorer for
both JPEG and TIFF files.
3. The new computer in the Computer Folder (aka Windows Explorer) does not
display the thumbnail from the file. Instead, the correct thumbnail flashes
by and is replaced by a mysterious reddish icon.
4. This happens for JPEGs and TIFFs from stored files on DVDs and from
images made within the new computer by Corel PhotoPaint.
5. This happens for all "Views".
6. However, the files open correctly in Corel PhotoPaint.
7. BMP files correctly display the thumbnail in Windows Explorer (Computer
Folder).

CAN THIS BE CORRECTED ?
Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.
Phil

Re: Thumbnail Problem

Folder Options>View tab>unchceck "Always show icons, never thumbnails".

To preview your photos click View and select medium or large icons.
