Vista - Picture icons don't show preview of picture

In my picture folders, all the pictures display with the same default icon (a
picture of a lake with mountain and blue sky) instead of a preview of my
pictures.

I wonder if it is a video card driver problem. I recently upgraded to the
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 TE 64M / 6600 TE 128M (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)
and this seems to have happened since then. However Aeroglass seems to work
fine and the performance analyzer reports that everything is above 3.

Could the picture preview problem simply be a setting I have not turned on
somewhere?

Thanks,

Catherine,

Open up the Pictures folder from Start menu. On the blue task bar of the
window, click on Organize. Click on folder options. Then, click on the View
tab. Uncheck the checkbox that says "Always show icons, never thumbnails."
That should do the trick.
