Vista - Windows Preview thumbnails are gone.

Windows Preview thumbnails are gone. All I get when moving mouse pointer
along taskbar is a description.

Check to see that Windows Aero is still selected. Right click on the desk top
and select Personalize, then Windows color and appearance, then Open classic
appearance properties..

some programs nock it out of arrow for compatibility and sometimes they
don't bring it back.

Right-click the Taskbar and choose Properties. On the Taskbar tab, make
sure "Show windows previews" has a checkmark. (Apply, OK).

sure why. Something I installed???

I have the same problem. The thumbnail box is grayed and I cant choose it.

I followed the steps on the link in one of the post below(oragnize/folder
options/etc..) to uncheck the only show icons but it is already unchecked.

How else can I fix this?
